You can specify the audit file by either giving its name or the name of the audit event consolidator that uses it. If neither are specified, the command assumes that you require active file for the default audit consolidator.
| -p | Make the active audit file available for dumping |
| -n instance-name | Specifies the name of the audit event consolidator instance. This is the name that applications will use to communicate with this audit event consolidator instance. This option cannot be used with the -f option. If neither this option nor the -f option is not specified, the machine name will be used. |
| -f audit-file-name | Specifiies the name of the audit file to be made available for dumping. This option cannot be used with the -n option. An error will be reported if the named file is not an active audit file. |
