NAME

       auparse_interpret_field, auparse_interpret_realpath,auparse_interpret_sock_family,auparse_interpret_sock_port,auparse_interpret_sock_address - get current field's interpreted value

SYNOPSIS

       #include <auparse.h>

       const char *auparse_interpret_field(const auparse_state_t *au);
       const char *auparse_interpret_realpath(const auparse_state_t *au);
       const char *auparse_interpret_sock_family(auparse_state_t *au);
       const char *auparse_interpret_sock_port(auparse_state_t *au);
       const char *auparse_interpret_sock_address(auparse_state_t *au);

DESCRIPTION

       auparse_interpret_field allows access to the interpreted value in the current field of the current record
       in  the current event. The returned string is escaped using the chosen method. The returned value will be
       destroyed if you call this function again. If you need to interpret another field and  keep  this  value,
       you will have to copy it for later use.

       Examples  of  things  that  could  be interpreted are: uid, gid, syscall numbers, exit codes, file paths,
       socket addresses, permissions, modes, and capabilities. There are likely to be more in the future.  If  a
       value cannot be interpreted, its original value is returned.

       auparse_interpret_realpath  is  like  auparse_interpret_field  except  that  it will call realpath on the
       results of gluing the cwd and file together. This also implies that it only valid to be  called  for  the
       file name given in a PATH record.

       auparse_interpret_sock_family will only return the socket family portion of a socket address.

       auparse_interpret_sock_port  will  only  return  the  port  portion  of  a socket address. Not all socket
       families have a port. If that is the case, you will get a NULL value in which case your best option is to
       use the normal interpretation function.

       auparse_interpret_sock_address will only return the address portion of a socket address. Not  all  socket
       families  have  an  ip  address.  If  that is the case, you will get a NULL value in which case your best
       option is to use the normal interpretation function.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns NULL if there is an error otherwise a pointer to the interpreted value.
