AUPARSE_GET_FIELD_INT(3)

💖 AUPARSE_GET_FIELD_INT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to auparse_get_field_int — it's a section 3 situation, living happily in the Linux Audit API family of manual pages. and ngl? she's a tiny little function with a very specific job and she does it flawlessly. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

auparse_get_field_int — get current field's value as an int

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <auparse.h>

int auparse_get_field_int(auparse_state_t *au);"

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea, bestie. auparse_get_field_int gives you access to the value as an int — that's it, that's the whole gig. 🫶

but which value, you ask? okay so follow the chain with me:

• the current field
• of the current record
• in the current event

it's giving nested main character energy fr fr. three layers of "current" and you get the int at the very bottom of that little stack. ✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

• returns -1 if there's an error, and errno gets set appropriately 💀
• otherwise returns the value, and that's your sign that errno is zero 👑

so like… yes, the success check really is errno being zero. that's the vibe check. don't skip it, bestie, or you'll be out here reading -1 like it's a real number 😭
