        Just to this point.  Solaris Audit records a local binary
        file (possibly remote via NFS).
        In parallel it will write some subset of that file
        in a text format to syslog.  The text format is not an interface
        just as no syslog message is an interface.  If a human sees
        something of interest in the logs kept by syslog, they can go
        and investigate further.  Solaris Audit has the ability to
        translate the local binary file to human readable still not an
        interface, or XML which is intended to be an interface for
        processing by other programs.
