caprint - Capability Ambient Print
caprint [ OPTIONS ] [ pid ]
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).
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.
