Comments:
Components should invoke this API to acquire an audit handle before performing any auditing operations. This API returns an audit handle that should be passed to the CBL_AUDIT_EVENT API.
Please note that the CBL_AUDIT_EVENT API allows a component to be specified as a handle or as a string depending upon its flags parameter specification. This allows events to be output without first acquiring an audit handle by specifying a component identifier string instead. However, this will have an impact on performance as the component identifier will be validated each time.
