-.Fn audit "const void * record" "int length"
+.Fn audit "const char *record" "u_int length"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn audit
-function submits a record to the kernel for inclusion in the global audit 
-trail. The record must already be in BSM format. To protect the integrity
-of the audit trail, this system call must be made with sufficient privileges.
-.Fa Libbsm
-can be used to create and manipulate BSM data.
-.Fa Length
-is the length in bytes of the BSM record and
+system call
+submits a completed BSM audit record to the system audit log.
+.Pp
+The
 .Fa record
-points to the data.
+argument
+is a pointer to the specific event to be recorded and
+.Fa length
+is the size in bytes of the data to be written.
 .Sh RETURN VALUES

+system call will fail and the data never written if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The
+.Fa record

 .It Bq Er EINVAL
-.Fa Length
-is greater than MAX_AUDIT_RECORD_SIZE, less than zero, greater than the

 .Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Fn audit
-function call first appeared in Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
+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.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+This software was created by McAfee Research, the security research division
+of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.
+Additional authors include
+.An Wayne Salamon ,
+.An Robert Watson ,
+and SPARTA Inc.
+.Pp
+The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
+stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
+.Pp
+This manual page was written by
+.An Tom Rhodes Aq trhodes@FreeBSD.org .
+.Sh BUGS
+The kernel does not fully validate that the argument passed is syntactically
+valid BSM.  Submitting invalid audit records may corrupt the audit log.
