NAME

       caprint - Capability Ambient Print

SYNOPSIS

       caprint [ OPTIONS ] [ pid ]

DESCRIPTION

       caprint shows the ambient capabilities of a running program (whose pid can be specified as
       an optional parameter, otherwise caprint shows the capabilities of caprint itself).

OPTIONS

       caprint accepts the following options:

       -l
       --long run in verbose mode. caprint shows the bitmask for each  capability  owned  by  the
              process and the resulting mask of the capability set.

       -c
       --compact
              emit  a  compact  output  (a  single line composed of a comma separated list of the
              capability short names). This output can be copied as a  capability  list  for  the
              command cado(1).

       -p
       --prompt
              this  option has been created to provide users with a suitable shell prompt to warn
              the users of the extra capabilities granted to that shell (and of the extra  danger
              in  case of running wrong commands).  As an example, it is possible to set the bash
              prompt editing the .bashrc in the user's home directory:

                    if which caprint >&/dev/null ; then
                      ambient=$(caprint -p)
                    fi

                    PS1='\u@\h:\w\$$ambient'

       -h
       --help print a short usage banner and exit.
