NAME

       capng_name_to_capability - convert capability text to integer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       int capng_name_to_capability(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_name_to_capability  will take the string being passed and look it up to see what its
       integer value would be. The string  being  input  is  the  same  name  as  the  define  in
       linux/capability.h  with  the  CAP_  prefix  removed. The string case does not matter. The
       integer that is output is the same as the define would be from linux/capability.h. This is
       useful  for  taking  string  input  and  converting  to  something  that  can be used with
       capng_update.

RETURN VALUE

       This returns a negative number on failure and the correct define otherwise.
