NAME

       capng_updatev - update the stored capabilities settings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       int  capng_updatev(capng_act_t  action,  capng_type_t  type,      unsigned int capability,
       ...);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_updatev will update the internal posix capabilities settings based  on  the  options
       passed  to  it.  The action should be either CAPNG_DROP to set the capability bit to 0, or
       CAPNG_ADD to set the capability bit to 1. The operation is performed on the capability set
       specified  in  the  type  parameter.  The  values  are:  CAPNG_EFFECTIVE, CAPNG_PERMITTED,
       CAPNG_INHERITABLE, CAPNG_BOUNDING_SET, or CAPNG_AMBIENT. The values may be or'ed  together
       to  perform  the  same  operation on multiple sets. The last parameter, capability, is the
       capability define as given in linux/capability.h.

       This function differs from capng_update in that you may pass a list of capabilities.  This
       list must be terminated with a -1 value.

RETURN VALUE

       This returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
