GETPCAPS(8)              System Manager's Manual             GETPCAPS(8)

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).
