15 audit_set_pid tells the kernel what the pid is of the audit daemon.
16 When the pid is set to 0, the kernel will log all events to syslog.
17 Otherwise it will try to send events to the netlink connection that has
18 the same pid given by this function. If for some reason the process
19 goes away, the kernel will automatically set the value to 0 itself.
20 Usually this function is called by the audit daemon and not an external
21 program. If wmode is WAIT_YES, the function will wait for an ACK from
22 the kernel.

26 The return value is <= 0 on error, otherwise it is the netlink sequence
27 id number. This function can have any error that sendto would
28 encounter.
