AUPARSE_FEED(3)              Linux Audit API              AUPARSE_FEED(3)
       auparse_feed - feed data into parser
       #include <auparse.h>
       int auparse_feed(auparse_state_t *au,constchar*"data,size_t"data_len);"
       au     The audit parse state
       data   a buffer of data to feed into the parser, it is data_len
              bytes long. The data is copied in the parser, upon return
              the caller may free or reuse the data buffer.
       data_len
              number of bytes in data
       auparse_feed supplies new data for the parser to consume.
       auparse_init() must have been called with a source type of
       AUSOURCE_FEED and a NULL pointer.
       The parser consumes as much data as it can invoking a user
       supplied callback specified with auparse_add_callback with a
       cb_event_type of AUPARSE_CB_EVENT_READY each time the parser
       recognizes a complete event in the data stream. Data not fully
       parsed will persist and be prepended to the next feed data. After
       all data has been feed to the parser auparse_flush_feed should be
       called to signal the end of input data and flush any pending parse
       data through the parsing system.
       Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, 0 for success.
