Currently the following audit events are not documented on docs.python.org:

- _winapi.CreateFile
- _winapi.CreateJunction
- _winapi.CreateNamedPipe
- _winapi.CreatePipe
- _winapi.CreateProcess
- _winapi.OpenProcess
- _winapi.TerminateProcess
- ctypes.PyObj_FromPtr
- object.__getattr__
- object.__setattr__
- object.__delattr__
- function.__new__
- setopencodehook
- builtins.id
- os.walk
- os.fwalk
- pathlib.Path.glob
- pathlib.Path.rglob

I'm going to create a PR to add them to the documentation. However, for `_winapi` events and `ctypes.PyObj_FromPtr`, I cannot find corresponding sections in the documentation to put the `audit-event` rst directive. How should we document them and make them show up in the audit events table?

Update: `os.walk`, `os.fwalk`, `pathlib.Path.glob` and `pathlib.Path.rglob` are added and documented in 3.9.

Maybe we need to add a page for "undocumented" events? I really don't want to document the _ctypes or _winapi modules - those should remain internal-only.

Maybe we can add a section to the end of the audit_events.rst file for "other events"? The generation of that page happens in two separate passes, so it should be safe enough.

It might even be possible to just provide the events and specify "" instead of the anchor to disable the backlink completely? I don't remember whether I coded that up or not.

I've created PR 21308 for this. BTW, is issue 39567 (`os.walk`, `os.fwalk`, `pathlib.Path.glob` and `pathlib.Path.rglob`) intentionally not backported to 3.8?

Hi Steve. If you had time could you review PR 21308, PR 21310 and PR 21322? Thanks!

After this flurry of commits, I think everything associated with the issue is now fixed.  

Along the way, I also noticed that the sys.audit() call had disappeared from the glob module (it's now restored) and filed issue #42098 to improve the test suite's checking of audit events.
