NAME

       capng_restore_state - set the internal library state

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       void capng_restore_state(void **state);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_restore_state  is  a  function  that takes the state information previously saved by
       capng_save_state and restores the libraries internal state. This function is not available
       in the python bindings.

RETURN VALUE

       None.

NOTES

       capng_restore_state free's the previously malloc'd state, thus the state can't be restored
       multiple times.

       The working pid is part of the restored state, if  restoring  the  state  to  a  different
       thread, capng_setpid can be used to update it.
