So, could we modify output_interpreted_node() to no longer re-parse the
[node=<node>] type=<type>
msg=audit(<epochsecs>.<msecs>:<serial>)
header and pass both the lnode and llist->e which has this data already
as the code
if (num == -1) {
// see if we are older and wiser now.
bptr = strchr(str, '[');
if (bptr && bptr < ptr) {
char *eptr;
bptr++;
eptr = strchr(bptr, ']');
if (eptr) {
*eptr = 0;
errno = 0;
num = strtoul(bptr, NULL, 10);
*eptr = ']';
if (errno)
num = -1;
}
}
}
which parses for
type=.*[n].*
is no longer needed as we don't have that format any more?
That is a very loose check for UNKNOWN[####]. If you see a performance
improvement by refactoring this function, please send a patch. The output
needs to be identical to the old way.
