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).
