Hi,

we would like to convert out old style syntax, like

-w /etc/crontab -p wa -l some_label

to the newstyle

-a exit,always. -S unlink...

Just wondering, is there a table, that translates the permission
(r,w,x,a) into their respective syscalls?

Could you explain the question in more detail? I'm having trouble understanding
the question.


Sure, but I would like to know, what is unclear?

When audit watches a file for changes (or access) , be it read, write, execute or modification of its attributes, those changes are translated into syscalls. To my little understanding.

And I was wondering, wether there is a translation available, that lists f.e. a file "read" can mean one of those syscalls:

read
pread
readv
readlink
preadv
preadv2

Now, this list is obviously wrong, but maybe there is a (kind of) authritive one around.
