.Sh DESCRIPTION
The functions documented here allow to manage the
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure.
.Pp
Capability rights should be separated with comma when passed to the
.Fn cap_rights_init ,
.Fn cap_rights_set ,
.Fn cap_rights_clear
and
.Fn cap_rights_is_set
functions.
For example:
.Bd -literal
cap_rights_set(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT, CAP_SEEK);
.Ed
.Pp
The complete list of the capability rights can be found in the
.Xr rights 4
manual page.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_init
function initialize provided
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure.
Only properly initialized structure can be passed to the remaining functions.
For convenience the structure can be filled with capability rights instead of
calling the
.Fn cap_rights_set
function later.
For even more convenience pointer to the given structure is returned, so it can
be directly passed to
.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 :
.Bd -literal
cap_rights_t rights;
if (cap_rights_limit(fd, cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE)) < 0)
err(1, "Unable to limit capability rights");
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_set
function adds the given capability rights to the given
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_clear
function removes the given capability rights from the given
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_is_set
function checks if all the given capability rights are set for the given
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_is_valid
function verifies if the given
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure is valid.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_merge
function merges all capability rights present in the
.Fa src
structure into the
.Fa dst
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_remove
function removes all capability rights present in the
.Fa src
structure from the
.Fa dst
structure.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_contains
function checks if the
.Fa big
structure contains all capability rights present in the
.Fa little
structure.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The functions never fail.
In case an invalid capability right or an invalid
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure is given as an argument, the program will be aborted.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_init ,
.Fn cap_rights_set
and
.Fn cap_rights_clear
functions return pointer to the
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure given in the
.Fa rights
argument.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_merge
and
.Fn cap_rights_remove
functions return pointer to the
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure given in the
.Fa dst
argument.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_is_set
returns
.Va true
if all the given capability rights are set in the
.Fa rights
argument.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_is_valid
function performs various checks to see if the given
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure is valid and returns
.Va true
if it is.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_rights_contains
function returns
.Va true
if all capability rights set in the
.Fa little
structure are also present in the
.Fa big
structure.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following example demonstrates how to prepare a
.Vt cap_rights_t
structure to be passed to the
.Xr cap_rights_limit 2
system call.
.Bd -literal
cap_rights_t rights;
int fd;
fd = open("/tmp/foo", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0)
err(1, "open() failed");
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_FSTAT, CAP_READ);
if (allow_write_and_seek)
cap_rights_set(&rights, CAP_WRITE, CAP_SEEK);
if (dont_allow_seek)
cap_rights_clear(&rights, CAP_SEEK);
if (cap_rights_limit(fd, &rights) < 0 && errno != ENOSYS)
err(1, "cap_rights_limit() failed");
