NAME

       capng_get_caps_process - get the capabilities from a process

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       int capng_get_caps_process(void);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_get_caps_process will get the capabilities and bounding set of the pid stored inside
       libcap-ng's state table. The default is the pid  of  the  running  process.  This  can  be
       changed by using the capng_setpid function.

RETURN VALUE

       This returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.

NOTES

       If  you  are  doing  multi-threaded  programming,  calling  this  function  will  only get
       capabilities on the calling thread. If you want to get overall capabilities for  a  multi-
       threaded  process,  you  can only do that before creating any threads. Afterwards, threads
       may be able to independantly set capabilities.
