AUDIT_SE...WAIT_TIME(3) Library Functions Manual AUDIT_SE...WAIT_TIME(3)
audit_set_backlog_wait_time - Set the audit backlog wait time
#include <libaudit.h> int audit_set_backlog_wait_time(int fd, uint32_t bwt);"
audit_set_backlog_wait_time sets the time that the kernel will wait before attempting to send more audit events on the descriptor given in fd. The bwt parameter specifies the delay in jiffies before attempting to transfer more events when the backlog_limit is reached. This gives the audit daemon a chance to drain the kernel queue. The default value is 60000 or 60 * HZ setting in the kernel.
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.
audit_set_backlog_limit(3), audit_open(3), auditd(8), auditctl(8).
