.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm cap_dup
|
|
.Nd duplicate a capability state in working storage
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/capability.h>
|
|
.Ft cap_t
|
|
.Fn cap_dup "cap_t cap_p"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn cap_dup
|
|
function returns a duplicate capability state in working storage given the
|
|
source object
|
|
.Ar cap_p ,
|
|
allocating any memory necessary, and returning a pointer to the newly
|
|
created capability state.
|
|
Once duplicated, no operations on the either capability state shall affect
|
|
the other in any way.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This function may cause memory to be allocated.
|
|
The caller should free any releasable memory, when the capability state in
|
|
working storage is no longer required, by calling
|
|
.Fn cap_free
|
|
with the cap_t as an argument.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
.Fx Ns 's
|
|
support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
|
|
development at this time.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the
|
|
.Fn cap_dup
|
|
function returns a pointer to the newly created capability state in working
|
|
storage.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of
|
|
.Va (cap_t)NULL
|
|
shall be returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
shall be set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If any of the following conditions occur, the
|
|
.Fn cap_dup
|
|
function shall return
|
|
.Va (cap_t)NULL
|
|
and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to the corresponding value:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The value of the
|
|
.Va cap_p
|
|
argument does not refer to a capability state in the working storage.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
The capability state to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by
|
|
the hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion
|
|
of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
|
|
mailing list. To join this list, see the
|
|
.Fx

POSIX.1e implementation

page for more information.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Support for POSIX.1e Capabilities was developed as part of the TrustedBSD
|
|
Project.
|
|
POSIX.1e Capability support was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 5.0 ,
|
|
and development continues.
