SAT_READ_HEADER_INFO(3C)			      SAT_READ_HEADER_INFO(3C)


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     sat_read_header_info, sat_free_header_info	- Portable interfaces to read
     audit record headers

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sat.h>

     int sat_read_header_info (FILE *in, struct	sat_hdr_info int mask, int
	  file_major, int file_minor);

     void sat_free_header_info (struct sat_hdr_info *header);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     sat_read_header_info reads	an audit record	header into a convenient
     struct for	examining its contents (the disk format	is neither convenient
     nor obvious).  Translation	from older versions of audit files is handled
     transparently by the library routines.  The record	header is read from
     file descriptor in	and processed into the struct pointed to by header.
     The file_major, file_minor	are the	file version to	translate from,
     obtained from the file header using the sat_read_file_info(3C) call.

     The sat_hdr_info structure	pointed	to by header includes the following
     fields:

	  int	  sat_magic;	   /* sat header "magic	number"	*/
	  int	  sat_rectype;	   /* what type	of record follows */
	  int	  sat_outcome;	   /* fail/success, due	to dac/mac check */
	  cap_value_t sat_cap;	  /* what capability affected the result */
	  int	  sat_sequence;	   /* sequence # for this rec (by type)	*/
	  int	  sat_errno;	   /* system call error	number */
	  time_t  sat_time;	   /* seconds since 1970 */
	  int	  sat_ticks;	   /* sub-second clock ticks (0-99) */
	  int	  sat_syscall;	   /* system call number */
	  int	  sat_subsyscall;  /* system call "command" number */
	  long	  sat_host_id;	   /* host id */
	  uid_t	  sat_id;	   /* SAT user-id */
	  dev_t	  sat_tty;	   /* controlling tty, if present */
	  pid_t	  sat_ppid;	   /* parent process id	*/
	  pid_t	  sat_pid;	   /* process id of record's generator */
	  char	  *sat_pname;	   /* process name */
	  mac_label *sat_plabel;   /* process label */
	  cap_t	  sat_pcap;	  /* capability	set */
	  uid_t	  sat_euid;	   /* Effective	user id	*/
	  uid_t	  sat_ruid;	   /* Real user	id */
	  gid_t	  sat_egid;	   /* Effective	group id */
	  gid_t	  sat_rgid;	   /* Real group id */
	  int	  sat_ngroups;	   /* number of	multi-group entries */
	  gid_t	  *sat_groups;	   /* group list */
	  char	  *sat_cwd;	   /* current working directory	*/
	  char	  *sat_rootdir;	   /* current root directory */
	  int	  sat_recsize;	   /* bytes in the following record */
	  int	  sat_hdrsize;	   /* no. of bytes in disk image of header */

	  char	  *sat_buffer;	   /* buffer holding disk image	of header */

     Due to the	format that the	record header is stored	in on disk, several
     fields in the file	header require extra computation and memory.  To allow
     the user to select	only the fields	they are interested in,	there is a
     mask which	specifies which	fields to include.  These are:

	  SHI_NONE	 Include none of the extra fields.

	  SHI_GROUPS	 Include the extended group list from the record
			 header.

	  SHI_PLABEL	 Include the process label from	the record header.

	  SHI_CWD	 Include the current working directory from the	record
			 header.

	  SHI_ROOTDIR	 Include the current root directory from the record
			 header.

	  SHI_PNAME	 Include the process name from the record header.

	  SHI_BUFFER	 Include the original disk image of the	record header.

	  SHI_ALL	 Include everything.

     The process label is only available if sat_mac_enabled is set in the file
     header, otherwise this field will be NULL.	 The current root directory
     (as changed by the	chroot(2) command) may point to	a null string.	If
     this is the case, '/' is intended.	 If a field is not requested in	the
     mask, the value in	header will be NULL.  To specify combinations of the
     above masks, simply "or" them together, like so:

	  (SHI_GROUPS |	SHI_CWD	| SHI_PNAME)

     Unlike the	sat_read_file_info function, there is only one way to write
     out a record header.  That	is to ask for the disk image using SHI_BUFFER
     in	the mask.  When	output is desired, use fwrite(3C) to write the
     contents of sat_buffer to disk.  The length of the	data in	sat_buffer is
     in	sat_hdrsize.  Be aware that there is also the record data following
     the record	header,	which must also	be read	and written to disk.  The size
     of	the record body	is found in the	sat_recsize field.  There are no
     library routines to read or interpret record bodies.

     sat_free_header_info is used to free any data that	sat_read_header_info
     allocated while constructing a sat_hdr_info struct.  It does not free the
     struct itself, only certain fields	within the struct.  To make sure the
     struct isn't used afterwards, it is zeroed	after all the fields are
     freed.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]
