Security and Auditing Library Functions       getauclassent(3BSM)



NAME
     getauclassent,   getauclassnam,   setauclass,    endauclass,
     getauclassnam_r, getauclassent_r - get audit_class entry

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lbsm  -lsocket   -lnsl   [ library... ]
     #include 
     #include 

     struct au_class_ent *getauclassnam( const char *name);


     struct au_class_ent *getauclassnam_r( au_class_ent_t *class_int,
          const char *name);


     struct au_class_ent *getauclassent(void);


     struct au_class_ent *getauclassent_r( au_class_ent_t *class_int);


     void setauclass(void);


     void endauclass(void);


DESCRIPTION
     The getauclassent() function and getauclassnam() each return
     an audit_class entry.


     The getauclassnam() function  searches  for  an  audit_class
     entry with a given class name name.


     The getauclassent() function enumerates audit_class entries.
     Successive calls to getauclassent() return either successive
     audit_class entries or NULL.


     The setauclass() function ``rewinds'' to  the  beginning  of
     the  enumeration  of  audit_class  entries.  Calls to getau-
     classnam() may leave the  enumeration  in  an  indeterminate
     state,  so  setauclass()  should  be called before the first
     getauclassent().


     The endauclass() may be called to indicate that  audit_class
     processing  is  complete; the system may then close any open
     audit_class file, deallocate storage, and so forth.

Security and Auditing Library Functions       getauclassent(3BSM)



     The getauclassent_r() and getauclassnam_r()  functions  both
     return  a  pointer to an audit_class entry as do their simi-
     larly named counterparts.   They  each  take  an  additional
     argument,   a   pointer   to   pre-allocated  space  for  an
     au_class_ent_t, which is returned if the call is successful.
     To   assure  there  is  enough  space  for  the  information
     returned, the applications  programmer  should  be  sure  to
     allocate  AU_CLASS_NAME_MAX  and AU_CLASS_DESC_MAX bytes for
     the ac_name and ac_desc members of the  au_class_ent_t  data
     structure.


     The internal representation of an audit_class  entry  is  an
     au_class_ent  structure  defined in   with the
     following members:

       char        *ac_name;
       au_class_t     ac_class;
       char       *ac_desc;


RETURN VALUES
     The getauclassnam() and getauclassnam_r() functions return a
     pointer  to  a  au_class_ent  structure if they successfully
     locate the requested entry. Otherwise they return NULL.


     The getauclassent() and getauclassent_r() functions return a
     pointer  to  a  au_class_ent  structure if they successfully
     enumerate an entry. Otherwise they return  NULL,  indicating
     the end of the enumeration.

Security and Auditing Library Functions       getauclassent(3BSM)



     All of the functions described on this man-page are  MT-Safe
     except  getauclassent() and getauclassnam, which are Unsafe.
     The getauclassent_r() and getauclassnam_r()  functions  have
     the  same  functionality as the Unsafe functions, but have a
     slightly different function call interface to make them  MT-
     Safe.
