EXAMPLE
       The  following  example  shows the default output of aucat (line breaks
       were added to enhance readability):
       2003-08-27T17:59:00      2   2444     root LOGIN: uid=0, terminal=cron
                                             job, executable=/usr/sbin/cron
       2003-09-29T19:45:01  22332   8859     root rt_sigaction(3, [data,
                                             len=20], [data, len=0]); result=0
       2003-09-29T19:45:01  22336   8858     root close("/lib/libc.so.6");
                                             result=0

       And the same records in verbose mode:

                                             LOGIN: uid=0, terminal=cron job,
                                             executable=/usr/sbin/cron

                                             rt_sigaction(3, [data, len=20],
                                             [data, len=0]); result=0
       2003-09-29T19:45:01  22336   8858     root      0      0      0      0
                                                0      0      0      0     41
                                             close("/lib/libc.so.6"); result=0
