NAME

       audit_set_rate_limit - Set audit rate limit

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_rate_limit (int fd, int limit);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_set_rate_limit will set the maximum number of messages that the kernel will send per
       second. This can be used to throttle the rate if systems become  unresponsive.  Of  course
       the trade off is that events will be dropped. The default value is 0, meaning no limit.

RETURN VALUE

       The  return  value  is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This
       function can have any error that sendto would encounter.

SEE ALSO

       audit_open(3), auditd(8).
