audit_request_signal_info - Request signal info for the audit system

#include <libaudit.h>

int audit_request_signal_info(int fd);

audit_request_signal_info requests that the kernel send information about the sender of a signal to the audit daemon. The signal info structure is as follows:

  struct audit_sig_info {
          uid_t           uid;
          pid_t           pid;
          char            ctx[0];
  };

This function is likely to be used only by audit daemons and shouldn’t be called by any other kind of program.

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_open*(3), *audit_get_reply*(3).
