AUDIT_GET_REPLY(3)           Linux Audit API           AUDIT_GET_REPLY(3)
       audit_get_reply - Get the audit system's reply
       #include <libaudit.h>
       int audit_get_reply(int fd, struct audit_reply *rep, reply_t block, int peek);"
       This function gets the next data packet sent on the audit netlink
       socket. This function is usually called after sending a command to
       the audit system. fd should be an open file descriptor returned by
       audit_open. rep should be a data structure to put the reply in.
       block is of type reply_t which is either: GET_REPLY_BLOCKING and
       GET_REPLY_NONBLOCKING. peek, if non-zero, gets the data without
       dequeueing it from the netlink socket.
       This function returns -errno on error, 0 if error response
       received, and positive value on success.
       audit_open(3).
