freebsd-dev/lib/libc/gen/cap_sandboxed.3
Pawel Jakub Dawidek d6f122f4fb Provide cap_sandboxed(3) function, which is a wrapper around cap_getmode(2)
system call, which has a nice property - it never fails, so it is a bit
easier to use. If there is no support for capability mode in the kernel
the function will return false (not in a sandbox). If the kernel is compiled
with the support for capability mode, the function will return true or false
depending if the calling process is in the capability mode sandbox or not
respectively.
