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).
