NAME
getpcaps − display process capabilities
SYNOPSIS
getpcaps [optional args] pid…
DESCRIPTION
getpcaps displays the capabilities on the processes indicated by the pid value(s) given on the command line. A pid of 0 displays the capabilities of the process that is running getpcaps itself.
The capabilities are displayed in the cap_from_text(3) format.
Optional arguments: **
−−help** or −−usage
Displays usage information and exits.
−−ugly or −−legacy
Displays output in a somewhat ugly legacy format.
−−verbose
Displays usage in a legacy-like format but not quite so ugly in modern default terminal fonts.
| −−iab | Displays IAB tuple capabilities from the process. The output format here is the text format described in cap_iab(3). Double quotes encase the regular process capabilities and square brackets encase the IAB tuple. This format is also used by captree(8). |
