+.Nd "Look up information from the audit_control database"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libbsm
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In libbsm.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn setac "void"
+.Ft void
+.Fn endac "void"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getacdir "char *name" "int len"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getacmin "int *min_val"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getacflg "char *auditstr" "int len"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getacna "char *auditstr" "int len"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These interfaces may be used to look up information from the
+.Xr audit_control 5
+database, which contains various audit-related administrative parameters.
+.Pp
+.Fn setac
+resets the database iterator to the beginning of the database; see the
+BUGS section for more information.
+.Pp
+.Fn sendac
+closes the
+.Xr audit_control 5
+database.
+.Pp
+.Fn getacdir
+Return the name of the directory where log data is stored via the passed
+character buffer
+.Va name
+of length
+.Va len .
+.Pp
+.Fn getacmin
+returns the minimum free disk space for the audit log target file system via
+the passed
+.Va min_val
+variable.
+.Pp
+.Fn getacflg
+returns the audit system flags via the the passed character buffer
+.Va auditstr
+of length
+.Va len .
+.Pp
+.Fn getacna
+returns the non-attributable flags via the passed character buffer
+.Va auditstr
+of length
+.Va len .
+.Sh RETURN VALULES
+.Fn getacdir ,
+.Fn getacmin ,
+.Fn getacflg ,
+and
+.Fn getacna
+return 0 on success, or a negative value on failure, along with error
+information in
+.Va errno .
+Functions that return a string value will return a failure if there is
+insufficient room in the passed character buffer for the full string.
+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Xr audit_control 5
+.Sh AUTHORS
+This software was created by Robert Watson, Wayne Salamon, and Suresh
+Krishnaswamy for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee,
+Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
+.Pp
+The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
+stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, 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.
+.Sh BUGS
+These routines cannot currently distinguish between an entry not being found
+and an error accessing the database.
+The implementation should be changed to return an error via
+.Va errno
+when
+.Dv NULL
+is returned.
+.Sh BUGS
+There is no reason for the
+.Fn setac
+interface to be exposed as part of the public API, as it is called implicitly
+by other access functions and iteration is not supported.
+.Pp
+These interfaces inconsistently return various negative values depending on
+the failure mode, and do not always set
+.Va errno
+on failure.
