AU_FREE_TOKEN(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual AU_FREE_TOKEN(3)
NAME
au_free_token - deallocate a token_t created by any of the au_to_*() BSM
API functions
LIBRARY
Basic Security Module Library (libbsm, -lbsm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <bsm/libbsm.h>
void
au_free_token(token_t *tok);
DESCRIPTION
The BSM API generally manages deallocation of token_t objects. However,
if au_write(3) is passed a bad audit descriptor, the token_t * parameter
will be left untouched. In that case, the caller can deallocate the
token_t using au_free_token() if desired.
The tok argument is a token_t * generated by one of the au_to_*() BSM API
calls. For convenience, tok may be NULL, in which case au_free_token()
returns immediately.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
This is, in fact, what audit_write(3) does, in keeping with the existing
memory management model of the BSM API.

HISTORY
The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation
for the OpenBSM distribution.
AUTHORS
This software was created by Robert Watson, Wayne Salamon, and Suresh
Krishnaswamy for McAfee Research, the security research division of
McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit
event stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
