Описание (Description)

These functions work on a capability state held in working
       storage.  A cap_t holds information about the capabilities in
       each of the three sets, Permitted, Inheritable, and Effective.
       Each capability in a set may be clear (disabled, 0) or set
       (enabled, 1).

These functions work with the following data types:

cap_value_t identifies a capability, such as CAP_CHOWN.

cap_flag_t identifies one of the three flags associated with a capability (i.e., it identifies one of the three capability sets). Valid values for this type are CAP_EFFECTIVE, CAP_INHERITABLE or CAP_PERMITTED.

cap_flag_value_t identifies the setting of a particular capability flag (i.e, the value of a capability in a set). Valid values for this type are CAP_CLEAR (0) or CAP_SET (1).

cap_clear() initializes the capability state in working storage identified by cap_p so that all capability flags are cleared.

cap_clear_flag() clears all of the capabilities of the specified capability flag, flag.

cap_get_flag() obtains the current value of the capability flag, flag, of the capability, cap, from the capability state identified by cap_p and places it in the location pointed to by value_p.

cap_set_flag() sets the flag, flag, of each capability in the array caps in the capability state identified by cap_p to value. The argument, ncap, is used to specify the number of capabilities in the array, caps.

cap_fill() fills the to flag values by copying all of the from flag values.

cap_compare() compares two full capability sets and, in the spirit of memcmp(), returns zero if the two capability sets are identical. A positive return value, status, indicates there is a difference between them. The returned value carries further information about which of three sets, cap_flag_t flag, differ. Specifically, the macro CAP_DIFFERS (status, flag) evaluates to non-zero if the returned status differs in its flag components.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

cap_clear(), cap_clear_flag(), cap_get_flag() cap_set_flag() and
       cap_compare() return zero on success, and -1 on failure. Other
       return values for cap_compare() are described above.

On failure, errno is set to EINVAL, indicating that one of the arguments is invalid.


Стандарты (Conforming to)

These functions are as per the withdrawn POSIX.1e draft
       specification.  cap_clear_flag() and cap_compare() are Linux
       extensions.
