#include <libaudit.h>

int audit_log_acct_message(int audit_fd, int type, const char *pgname, const char *op, const char *name, unsigned int id, const char *host, const char *addr, const char *tty, int result)

account attributes.
pgname - program’s name, if NULL will attempt to figure out
op - operation. Ex: "adding-user", "changing-finger-info",
"deleting-group". This value should have a dash or underscore
between the words so that report parsers group them together.
name - user’s account or group name. If not available use NULL.

the user is unknown, pass a -1 and fill in the name parameter.
This is used only when user is NULL.

addr - The network address of the user. If not available pass a
NULL.
tty - The tty of the user, if NULL will attempt to figure out
result - 1 is "success" and 0 is "failed"
