LIBSYSEVENT(3LIB) Interface Libraries LIBSYSEVENT(3LIB)

NAME

libsysevent - system event interface library

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lsysevent [ library... ]
#include <libsysevent.h>

DESCRIPTION

Functions in this library extract specific identifier, publisher, and
attribute information from a system event (sysevent) handle, defined
as sysevent_t, and allow privileged user-level applications to queue
system events for delivery to the system event daemon, syseventd(8).


The libsysevent interfaces do not work at all in non-global zones.


For a list of events, please see sysevents(3SYSEVENT). The actual
events and their payload, unlike the library interfaces, are
considered private to the system and subject to change at any time.
