DESCRIPTION

15       audit_set_rate_limit  will  set the maximum number of messages that the
16       kernel will send per second. This can be used to throttle the  rate  if
17       systems  become  unresponsive.  Of  course the trade off is that events
18       will be dropped. The default value is 0, meaning no limit.

23       id  number.  This  function  can  have  any error that sendto would en‐
24       counter.
