audit_set_failure − Set audit failure flag
#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_set_failure(int fd, uint32_t failure);
audit_set_failure
sets the action that the kernel will perform when the
backlog limit is reached or when it encounters an error and
cannot proceed. Possible values are:
0 - AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT
Do nothing, report nothing, skip logging the record and continue.
1 - AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK [default]
Log the audit record using printk which will cause subsequent events to get written to syslog.
2 - AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC
Call the panic function. This would be used to prevent use of the machine upon loss of audit events.
The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This function can have any error that sendto would encounter.
audit_set_backlog_limit(3), audit_open(3), auditd(8), auditctl(8).
