NAME

       audit_set_backlog_limit - Set the audit backlog limit

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libaudit.h>

       int audit_set_backlog_limit(int fd, uint32_t limit);

DESCRIPTION

       audit_set_backlog_limit sets the queue length for audit events awaiting transfer to the audit daemon. The
       default  value  is  64  which can potentially be overrun by bursts of activity. When the backlog limit is
       reached, the kernel consults the failure_flag to see what action to take.

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence id number. This function can have
       any error that sendto would encounter.
