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.
