AUDIT_SYSCALL_TO_NAME(3)

✨ AUDIT_SYSCALL_TO_NAME(3) ✨

okay so bestie, gather round πŸ’– this is the AUDIT_SYSCALL_TO_NAME(3) page from the Linux Audit API, and it's literally the glow-up translator you didn't know you needed. she takes a boring number and turns it into a whole name. no cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

audit_syscall_to_name β€” convert the numeric syscall value to the syscall name πŸ¦‹

like. she's a name-revealer. a number-to-identity pipeline. the fairy godmother of syscalls 🧚


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <libaudit.h>

const char *audit_syscall_to_name(int sc, int machine);

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so audit_syscall_to_name() converts the numeric syscall value into the syscall name. that's the whole gig. she ate and left no crumbs πŸ’…

the deets:

  • sc β€” this is the numeric syscall value. just a lil number, minding its own business.
  • machine β€” this is the enum value of the machine type, and it's defined in machine_t. iconic. you can grab a machine by calling audit_detect_machine(3). yup, she's the plug for that 🫢

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • Returns NULL if an error occurs 😭 (sad girl hours).
  • Otherwise, the return value is the syscall name ✨ (main character moment).
