📚 LIBRARY 📚

The library line is literally library “libauditd” — lowercase, curly quotes, the whole thing. 💅

🛠️ DESCRIPTION 🛠️

So what's the tea? The libauditd library provides the internal implementation of auditd(8). That's it — it's the internal implementation situation, no cap. 🫶

🔌 INTERFACES 🔌

There are no public interfaces in libauditd. Not one. Zero. Nada. If you came looking for public interfaces, bestie, the page is very clear: there are none. 😭

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

Go read auditd(8) next — that's the reference, and it's right there in the SEE ALSO section. 🦋

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

The lore goes like this: the OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research — yes, the security division of McAfee Inc. — under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004. It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for the OpenBSM distribution. iconic lineage ngl 👑
