Robert Watson 506764c6f6 Vendor branch import of TrustedBSD OpenBSM 1.0 alpha 6:
- Use AU_TO_WRITE and AU_NO_TO_WRITE for the 'keep' argument to au_close();
  previously we used hard-coded 0 and 1 values.
- Add man page for au_open(), au_write(), au_close(), and
  au_close_buffer().
- Support a more complete range of data types for the arbitrary data token:
  add AUR_CHAR (alias to AUR_BYTE), remove AUR_LONG, add AUR_INT32 (alias
  to AUR_INT), add AUR_INT64.
- Add au_close_token(), which allows writing a single token_t to a memory
  buffer.  Not likely to be used much by applications, but useful for
  writing test tools.
- Modify au_to_file() so that it accepts a timeval in user space, not just
  kernel -- this is not a Solaris BSM API so can be modified without
  causing compatibility issues.
- Define a new API, au_to_header32_tm(), which adds a struct timeval
  argument to the ordinary au_to_header32(), which is now implemented by
  wrapping au_to_header32_tm() and calling gettimeofday().  #ifndef KERNEL
  the APIs that invoke gettimeofday(), rather than having a variable
  definition.  Don't try to retrieve time zone information using
  gettimeofday(), as it's not needed, and introduces possible failure
  modes.
- Don't perform byte order transformations on the addr/machine fields of
  the terminal ID that appears in the process32/subject32 tokens.  These
  are assumed to be IP addresses, and as such, to be in network byte
  order.
- Universally, APIs now assume that IP addresses and ports are provided
  in network byte order.  APIs now generally provide these types in
  network byte order when decoding.
- Beginnings of an OpenBSM test framework can now be found in openbsm/test.
  This code is not built or installed by default.
- auditd now assigns more appropriate syslog levels to its debugging and
  error information.
- Support for audit filters introduced: audit filters are dynamically
  loaded shared objects that run in the context of a new daemon,
  auditfilterd.  The daemon reads from an audit pipe and feeds both BSM and
  parsed versions of records to shared objects using a module API.  This
  will provide a framework for the writing of intrusion detection services.
- New utility API, audit_submit(), added to capture common elements of audit
  record submission for many applications.

.Sh NAME
.Nm audit_submit
.Nd general purpose audit record submission
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libbsm
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In stdio.h
.Ft int
.Fn audit_submit "short au_event" "au_id_t auid" "char status" "int reterr" "const char * restrict format" ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
function provides a generic programming interface for audit record submission.
This audit record will contain a header, subject token, an optional text token,
return token, and a trailer.
The header will contain the event class specified by
.Fa au_event .
The subject token will be generated based on
.Fa au_ctx .
The return token is dependant on the
.Fa status
and
.Fa reterr
arguments.
Optionally, a text token will be created as a part of this record.
.Pp
Text token output is under the control of a
.Fa format
string that specifies how subsequent arguments (or arguments accessed via the
variable-length argument facilities of
.Xr stdarg 3 )
are converted for output.
If
.Fa format
is NULL, then no text token is created in the audit record.
.Pp
It should be noted that
.Nm
assumes that
.Xr setaudit 2 ,
or
.Xr setaudit_addr 2
has already been called.
As a direct result, the terminal ID for the
subject will be retrieved from the kernel via
.Xr getaudit 2 ,
or
.Xr getaudit_addr 2 .
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#include <bsm/audit.h>
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>
#include <bsm/audit_uevents.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <errno.h>
int
audit_bad_su(char *from_login, char *to_login)
{
int error;
error = audit_submit(AUE_su, getuid(), 1, EPERM,
"bad su from %s to %s", from_login, to_login);
return (error);
}

.Pp
Will generate the following audit record:
