+.Dt CAP_IOCTLS_LIMIT 2
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cap_ioctls_limit ,
+.Nm cap_ioctls_get
+.Nd manage allowed ioctl commands
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/capsicum.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn cap_ioctls_limit "int fd" "const unsigned long *cmds" "size_t ncmds"
+.Ft ssize_t
+.Fn cap_ioctls_get "int fd" "unsigned long *cmds" "size_t maxcmds"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+If a file descriptor is granted the
+.Dv CAP_IOCTL
+capability right, the list of allowed
+.Xr ioctl 2
+commands can be selectively reduced (but never expanded) with the
+.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
+system call.
+The
+.Fa cmds
+argument is an array of
+.Xr ioctl 2
+commands and the
+.Fa ncmds
+argument specifies the number of elements in the array.
+There can be up to
+.Va 256
+elements in the array.
+.Pp
+The list of allowed ioctl commands for a given file descriptor can be obtained
+with the
+.Fn cap_ioctls_get
+system call.
+The
+.Fa cmds
+argument points at memory that can hold up to
+.Fa maxcmds
+values.
+The function populates the provided buffer with up to
+.Fa maxcmds
+elements, but always returns the total number of ioctl commands allowed for the
+given file descriptor.
+The total number of ioctls commands for the given file descriptor can be
+obtained by passing
+.Dv NULL as the
+.Fa cmds
+argument and
+.Va 0
+as the
+.Fa maxcmds
+argument.
+If all ioctl commands are allowed
+.Dv ( CAP_IOCTL
+capability right is assigned to the file descriptor and the
+.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
+system call was never called for this file descriptor), the
+.Fn cap_ioctls_get
+system call will return
+.Dv CAP_IOCTLS_ALL
+and won't modify the buffer pointed to by the
+.Fa cmds
+argument.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Rv -std cap_ioctls_limit
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn cap_ioctls_get
+function, if successful, returns the total number of allowed ioctl commands or
+the value
+.Dv CAP_IOCTLS_ALL
+if all ioctls commands are allowed.
+On failure the value
+.Va -1
+is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn cap_ioctls_limit

+The
+.Fa fd
+argument is not a valid descriptor.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
