.Dt CAP_FROM_TEXT 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm cap_from_text
|
|
.Nd convert text to a capability state in working store
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/capability.h>
|
|
.Ft cap_t
|
|
.Fn cap_from_text "const char *buf_p"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function allocates and initializes a capability state in working
|
|
storage.
|
|
It then sets the contents of this newly created capability state to the
|
|
state represented by the human-readable, null terminated character string
|
|
pointed to by
|
|
.Va buf_p .
|
|
.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
|
|
.Xr cap_free 3
|
|
with the
|
|
.Va (void *)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 function returns a pointer to the
|
|
internal representation of the capability in working storage.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of
|
|
.Va (cap_t)NULL
|
|
is returned, and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If any of the following conditions occur, the
|
|
.Fn cap_from_text
|
|
function shall return a value of
|
|
.Va (cap_t)NULL
|
|
and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to the corresponding value:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Va buf_p
|
|
argument does not refer to a character string, the string pointed to by
|
|
.Va buf_p
|
|
is not parseable by the function, the text string contains a
|
|
capability name or a flag character that the implementation does not
|
|
recognize as valid.
|
|
.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.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
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
|
|
POSIX.1e support was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 ,
|
|
and development continues.
