vnode_au_info(33)

struct vnode_au_info

General

The structure is required by au_to_attr() (see `au_token(3)).

Definition

The structure is defined in sys/security/audit/audit_private.h.

/*
 * Audit data is generated as a stream of struct audit_record structures,
 * linked by struct kaudit_record, and contain storage for possible audit so
 * that it will not need to be allocated during the processing of a system
 * call, both improving efficiency and avoiding sleeping at untimely moments.
 * This structure is converted to BSM format before being written to disk.
 */
struct vnode_au_info {
	mode_t	vn_mode;
	uid_t	vn_uid;
	gid_t	vn_gid;
	dev_t	vn_dev;
	long	vn_fsid;
	long	vn_fileid;
	long	vn_gen;
};

Usage

I've not found any interface functions for this structure so I guess it has to be managed manually.

It is a private structure. It is defined in a public interface in bsm/libbsm.h and is only included when _KERNEL or KERNEL is defined.
