NAME

capng_save_state - get the internal library state

SYNOPSIS

#include <cap-ng.h>
 
void *capng_save_state(void);
 

DESCRIPTION

capng_save_state is a function that returns a pointer to the internal state of the libcap-ng library. It should be considered opaque and not for alteration directly. This function should be used when you suspect a third party library may use libcap-ng also and want to make sure it doesn't alter something important. This function is not available in the python bindings.
 

RETURN VALUE

This returns NULL on failure and a non-NULL pointer otherwise.
 

NOTES

The structure returned by capng_save_state is malloc'd; it should be free'd if not used.
 

SEE ALSO

capng_restore_state(3), capabilities(7)
