AUPARSE_GET_TYPE(3)

💖 AUPARSE_GET_TYPE(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Linux Audit API manual — section 3, the library-call girlies — and it's literally all about one tiny little function that tells you what kind of record you're staring at. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

auparse_get_type — get record's type 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <auparse.h>

int auparse_get_type(const auparse_state_t *au);"

(yes the trailing " is really in there, i'm not fixing it, i don't make the rules 🫶)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. auparse_get_type will return the integer value for the current record of the current event. that's it. that's the function. she's simple, she's reliable, she's the friend who always texts back. 💅

like, you're walking through an event record by record, and you just wanna know "hey, what is this thing" — boom, integer. iconic.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

auparse_get_type returns 0 if an error occurs 😭 — otherwise, it hands you the record's type. so if you get a 0, that's not a type, that's the universe telling you something went sideways. check yourself before you wreck yourself, fr fr. 💀
