56 These interfaces may be used to look up information from the
58 database, which contains various audit-related administrative parameters.
61 resets the database iterator to the beginning of the database; see the
62 BUGS section for more information.

77 returns the minimum free disk space for the audit log target file system via
83 returns the audit system flags via the the passed character buffer
89 returns the non-attributable flags via the passed character buffer
99 return 0 on success, or a negative value on failure, along with error
102 Functions that return a string value will return a failure if there is
103 insufficient room in the passed character buffer for the full string.
108 This software was created by Robert Watson, Wayne Salamon, and Suresh
109 Krishnaswamy for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee,
110 Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
112 The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
113 stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
115 The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
116 division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
117 It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
118 the OpenBSM distribution.
120 These routines cannot currently distinguish between an entry not being found
121 and an error accessing the database.
122 The implementation should be changed to return an error via
128 There is no reason for the
130 interface to be exposed as part of the public API, as it is called implicitly
131 by other access functions and iteration is not supported.
133 These interfaces inconsistently return various negative values depending on
134 the failure mode, and do not always set
