p The .Fa record argument is a pointer to the specific event to be recorded and .Fa length is the size in bytes of the data to be written. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Rv -std .Sh ERRORS The .Fn audit system call will fail and the data never written if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EFAULT The .Fa record argument is beyond the allocated address space of the process. t Bq Er EINVAL The token ID is invalid or .Va length is larger than .Dv MAXAUDITDATA . t Bq Er EPERM The process does not have sufficient permission to complete the operation. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr auditon 2 , .Xr getaudit 2 , .Xr getaudit_addr 2 , .Xr getauid 2 , .Xr setaudit 2 , .Xr setaudit_addr 2 , .Xr setauid 2 , .Xr libbsm 3 .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 McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. Additional authors include .An Wayne Salamon , .An Robert Watson , and SPARTA Inc.
