# Audit events table

This table contains all events raised by `sys.audit`{.interpreted-text role="func"} or `PySys_Audit`{.interpreted-text role="c:func"} calls throughout the CPython runtime and the standard library. These calls were added in 3.8 or later (see `578`{.interpreted-text role="pep"}).

See `sys.addaudithook`{.interpreted-text role="func"} and `PySys_AddAuditHook`{.interpreted-text role="c:func"} for information on handling these events.

::: impl-detail
This table is generated from the CPython documentation, and may not represent events raised by other implementations. See your runtime specific documentation for actual events raised.
