Select records that occurred after or on the given datetime.

-b YYYYMMDD[HH[MM[SS]]]

Select records that occurred before the given datetime.

-c flags

-o object=value

file

Select records containing path tokens, where the pathname matches one of the comma delimited extended regular expression contained in given specification. Regular expressions which are prefixed with a tilde (‘~’) are excluded from the search results. These extended regular expressions are processed from left to right, and a path will either be selected or deslected based on the first match.

Since commas are used to delimit the regular expressions, a backslash (‘\’) character should be used to escape the comma if it is a part of the search pattern.

msgqid

Select records containing the given message queue ID.

pid

Select records containing the given process ID.

semid

Select records containing the given semaphore ID.

shmid

Select records containing the given shared memory ID.

-r ruid

-v

Invert sense of matching, to select records that do not match.

EXAMPLES

auditreduce -e root \
    /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

To select all setlogin(2) events from that log:

auditreduce -m AUE_SETLOGIN \
    /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

Output from the above command lines will typically be piped to a new trail file, or via standard output to the praudit(1) command.

Select all records containing a path token where the pathname contains /etc/master.passwd:

auditreduce -o file="/etc/master.passwd" \
    /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

Select all records containing path tokens, where the pathname is a TTY device:

auditreduce -o file="/dev/tty[a-zA-Z][0-9]+" \
    /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

Select all records containing path tokens, where the pathname is a TTY except for /dev/ttyp2:

auditreduce -o file="~/dev/ttyp2,/dev/tty[a-zA-Z][0-9]+" \
    /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634
