DESCRIPTION
The caph_enter, caph_rights_limit, caph_ioctls_limit and
caph_fcntls_limit are respectively equivalent to cap_enter(2),
cap_rights_limit(2), cap_ioctls_limit(2) and cap_fcntls_limit(2), it
returns success when the kernel is built without support of the
code patterns. The capsicum helpers are part of libcapsicum but there is
no need to link to the library.
caph_limit_stream() restricts capabilities on fd to only those needed by
POSIX stream objects (that is, FILEs).
These flags can be provided:
CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF Do not return an error if file descriptor is
invalid.
CAPH_READ Set CAP_READ on limited descriptor.
CAPH_WRITE Set CAP_WRITE on limited descriptor.
caph_limit_stdin(), caph_limit_stderr() and caph_limit_stdout() limit
standard descriptors using the caph_limit_stream function.
caph_limit_stdio() limits stdin, stderr and stdout.
caph_stream_rights may be used to initialize rights with the same rights
that a stream would be limited to, as if caph_limit_stream() had been
invoked using the same flags.
caph_cache_tzdata() precaches all timezone data needed to use libc local
time functions.
caph_cache_catpages() caches Native Language Support (NLS) data. NLS
data is used for localized error printing by strerror(3) and err(3),
among others.
