AUPARSE_METRICS(3)

💖 AUPARSE_METRICS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at auparse_metrics(3) from the Linux Audit API and it's lowkey one of the most useful little peek-behind-the-curtain functions you'll meet. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

auparse_metrics — get some metrics about auparse 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <auparse.h>

char * auparse_metrics(const auparse_state_t *au);"

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so auparse_metrics gets you some basic info about auparse's internal state. that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

it hands you back a character string that's ready to print — like, no extra formatting work on your end, she did that for you, main character energy fr.

what's actually in that string? three things:

• the current limit for storing building events — wait, the current limit for storing building events
• the maximum events building or ready
• the number of ready events for processing

heads up bestie: this info is only useful when the feed api is being used. if you're not feeding, this is giving… nothing. 😭

---

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

on success you get a memory buffer of the current metrics. on error you get NULL. simple.

⚠️ and this part matters: the caller must free the string. that memory is yours now. take care of her. 🫶
