[PATCH ghau51/ghau40 v5 6/6] libaudit: add support to get the task audit container identifier

Richard Guy Briggs rgb at redhat.com
Fri Mar 15 18:37:07 UTC 2019


Add the audit_get_containerid() call analogous to audit_getloginuid()
and audit_get_session() calls to get our own audit container identifier.

This is intended as a debug patch, not to be upstreamed.

+.TH "AUDIT_GET_CONTAINERID" "3" "Feb 2018" "Red Hat" "Linux Audit API"
+.SH NAME
+audit_get_containerid \- Get a program's container id value
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <libaudit.h>
+.sp
+uin32_t audit_get_containerid(void);
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This function returns the task's audit container identifier attribute.
+
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+
+This function returns the audit container identifier value if it was set. It will return a \-1 if the audit container identifier is unset. However, since uint64_t is an unsigned type, you will see the converted value instead of \-1.
+
+.SH "ERRORS"
+
+This function returns \-2 on failure. Additionally, in the event of a real error, errno would be set. The function can set errno based on failures of open, read, or strtoul.
+
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+
+.BR audit_getloginuid (3).
