I believe what is meant is /dev/auditpipe, which provides a live event stream 
from the kernel's audit subsystem in FreeBSD 6.2 and later.  You can read more 
about the event audit facility here:

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/audit.html

The auditpipe(4) man page provides more detailed information on audit pipes, 
which, unlike the trail files in /var/audit, provide live streams in a lossy 
way, and allow applications to push filters into the kernel as to what events 
they are interested in hearing about.
