Expanding PATH records to be absolute paths

As I mentioned in my austream email, I need to be able to rewrite outgoing PATH records to have absolute paths. I can obviously do this from scratch, and if there's no better way then this is what I will do. However, I'm aware that work has gone on in the userspace message parsing area, and I'd like to avoid reinventing the wheel. I have a few constraints, though: * Must work on libraries shipped with RHEL 4.5 If necessary, I will import bits of code from later versions into austream, however I'm not prepared to require updating from the shipped audit-libs. If I need to do this, how can I minimise maintenance pain? Maybe separate parsing libraries into a separate package and depend on it? * Must work on a stream I don't write anything to disk. It must work on messages as read from the audit netlink socket. * It must be fast I need to remain sure that I can put the tool into a performance critical environment with confidence that I won't kill it. If I were going to do this from scratch, I'd cache CWD records and rewrite PATH records on the way through. I don't believe any other record requires this. AVC paths are already absolute, and I don't think there are any other paths. Is this right?
