Wajih,
Try man audit_log_user_messageand note the need for CAP_AUDIT_WRITE ability (see
auditctl(8))
That said. Is there a reason you want a message going into the system kernel logging
mechanism? The only reason why I ask is, if your audit rules posture is aggressive
(many rules that fire) then you could will slow down your application as it waits to
insert a message into the NETLINK_SOCKET is uses.
On *nix, syslog is the normal destination for application event logs. By separating
your application logs from operating system logs, you can more efficiently post
process them.

Hi,
Hi, I have a C application which needs to send a message to audit.log from
userspace. I have been using `auditctl -m` format to send a message to audit.log
using `system` command but it seems to degrade performance a lot of my
application.
My question is there any API to send a message programmatically from my
application which is more efficient and robust.
Thanks,
Wajih
