.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm cap_init
|
|
.Nd Allocate and Initialize a Capability State in Working Storage
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/capability.h>
|
|
.Ft cap_t
|
|
.Fn cap_init "void"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn cap_init
|
|
shall create a capability state in working storage and return a pointer to
|
|
the capability state.
|
|
The initial value of all flags for all capabilities defined by the
|
|
implementation shall be cleared.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Vn cap_free
|
|
with the cap_t as an argument.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
|
|
development at this time.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the
|
|
.Fn cap_init
|
|
function returns a non-NULL cap_t value.
|
|
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 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.
