#include <libaudit.h>
int audit_set_failure (int fd, int failure);
DESCRIPTIONaudit_set_failure sets the action that the kernel will perform when the
backlog limit is reached or when it encounters an error and cannot pro‐
ceed. Possible values are:
0 - AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK [default]
Log the audit record using printk which will cause subsequent
events to get written to syslog.
1 - AUDIT_FAIL_SILENT
Do nothing, report nothing, skip logging the record and con‐
tinue.
2 - AUDIT_FAIL_PANIC
Call the panic function. This would be used to prevent use of
the machine upon loss of audit events.
RETURN VALUE

id number. This function can have any error that sendto would
encounter.
