 NAME
      audevent - change or display event or system call audit status

 SYNOPSIS
      audevent [-P|-p] [-F|-f] [-E] [[-e event] ...] [-S] [[-s syscall] ...]

 DESCRIPTION
      audevent changes the auditing status of the given events or system
      calls.  The event is used to specify names associated with certain
      self-auditing commands; syscall is used to select related system
      calls.

      If neither -P, -p, -F, nor -f is specified, the current status of the
      selected events or system calls is displayed.  If no events or system
      calls are specified, all events and system calls are selected.

      If the -E option is supplied, it is redundant to specify events with
      the -e option; this applies similarly to the -S and -s options.

      audevent takes effect immediately.  However, the events and system
      calls specified are audited only when called by a user currently being
      audited (see audusr(1M)).  A list of valid events and associated
      syscalls is provided in audit(5).

      Only the super-user can change or display audit status.

    Options
      audevent recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

           -P             Audit successful events or system calls.

           -p             Do not audit successful events or system calls.

           -F             Audit failed events or system calls.

           -f             Do not audit failed events or system calls.

           -E             Select all events for change or display.

           -e event       Select event for change or display.

           -S             Select all system calls for change or display.

           -s syscall     Select syscall for change or display.
