148 The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
149 division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc., in 2004.
150 It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation for
151 the OpenBSM distribution.

159 for McAfee Research, the security research division of McAfee,
160 Inc., under contract to Apple Computer, Inc.
162 The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event
163 stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.

170 These routines are thread-safe, but not re-entrant, so simultaneous or
171 interleaved use of these functions will affect the iterator.
