audit message types

+define AUDIT_SYSCALL   1300  /* Syscall event */
+define AUDIT_IPC       1303  /* IPC record */

Does this mean that on X86_64 a record for semget shows up as a record of
type AUDIT_SYSCALL, but on all platforms, it comes out as AUDIT_IPC record?
Also true for other syscalls including: msgctl, msgget, msgrecv, msgsend,
semctl, semop, semtimedop, shmat, shmctl, shmdt, shmget.


+define AUDIT_SOCKET    1304  /* Socket record */
Would this make the bind syscall generate records of type AUDIT_SOCKET?
