.Sh NAME
.Nm libbsm
.Nd "Basic Security Module (BSM) Audit API"
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libbsm
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In bsm/libbsm.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
library routines provide an interface to BSM audit record streams, allowing
both the parsing of existing audit streams, as well as the creation of new
audit records and streams.
.Sh INTERFACES
The
.Nm
library
provides a large number of Audit programming interfaces in several classes:
event stream interfaces, class interfaces, control interfaces, event
interfaces, I/O interfaces, mask interfaces, notification interfaces, token
interfaces, and user interfaces.
These are described respectively in the

Vendor import of OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 11, with the following change history notes since the last import: OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 11 - Reclassify certain read/write operations as having no class rather than the fr/fw class; our default classes audit intent (open) not operations (read, write). - Introduce AUE_SYSCTL_WRITE event so that BSD/Darwin systems can audit reads and writes of sysctls as separate events. Add additional kernel environment and jail events for FreeBSD. - Break AUDIT_TRIGGER_OPEN_NEW into two events, AUDIT_TRIGGER_ROTATE_USER (issued by the user audit(8) tool) and AUDIT_TRIGGER_ROTATE_KERNEL (issued by the kernel audit implementation) so that they can be distinguished. - Disable rate limiting of rotate requests; as the kernel doesn't retransmit a dropped request, the log file will otherwise grow indefinitely if the trigger is dropped. - Improve auditd debugging output. - Fix a number of threading related bugs in audit_control file reading routines. - Add APIs au_poltostr() and au_strtopol() to convert between text representations of audit_control policy flags and the flags passed to auditon(A_SETPOLICY) and retrieved from auditon(A_GETPOLICY). - Add API getacpol() to return the 'policy:' entry from audit_control, an extension to the Solaris file format to allow specification of policy persistent flags. - Update audump to print the audit_control policy field. - Update auditd to read the audit_control policy field and set the kernel policy to match it when configuring/reconfiguring. Remove the -s and -h arguments as these policies are now set via the configuration file. If a policy line is not found in the configuration file, continue with the current default of setting AUDIT_CNT. - Fix bugs in the parsing of large execve(2) arguments and environmental variable tokens; increase maximum parsed argument and variable count. - configure now detects strlcat(), used by policy-related functions. - Reference token and record sample files added to test tree.

.Sh HISTORY
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
the OpenBSM distribution.
.Sh AUTHORS
.An -nosplit
This software was created by
.An Robert Watson ,
.An Wayne Salamon ,
and
.An Suresh Krishnaswamy
for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee,
Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
.Pp
The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
.Sh BUGS
Bugs would not be unlikely.
.Pp
The
.Nm
library implementations are generally thread-safe, but not reentrant.
.Pp
The assignment of routines to classes could use some work, as it is
decidely ad hoc.
For example,
.Fn au_read_rec
should probably be considered a stream routine.
