to get events and system calls that are currently being audited.
See

DESCRIPTION
setevent()
sets the events and system calls to be audited.
The event and system call settings in the tables pointed to by

configuration.
See

for more information about privileged access on systems that support
fine-grained privileges.

returns 0; otherwise, it returns -1 and sets
