.Dt CAP_RIGHTS_LIMIT 2
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm cap_rights_limit ,
.Nm cap_rights_get
.Nd manage capability rights
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/capability.h
.Ft int
.Fn cap_rights_limit "int fd" "cap_rights_t rights"
.Ft int
.Fn cap_rights_get "int fd" "cap_rights_t *rightsp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
When a file descriptor is created by a function such as
.Xr fhopen 2 ,
.Xr kqueue 2 ,
.Xr mq_open 2 ,
.Xr open 2 ,
.Xr openat 2 ,
.Xr pdfork 2 ,
.Xr pipe 2 ,
.Xr shm_open 2 ,
.Xr socket 2 ,
or
.Xr socketpair 2 ,
it is assigned all capability rights.
Those rights can be reduced (but never expanded) by using the
.Fn cap_rights_limit
system call.
Once capability rights are reduced, operations on the file descriptor will be
limited to those permitted by
.Fa rights .
.Pp
A bitmask of capability rights assigned to a file descriptor can be obtained with
the
.Fn cap_rights_get
system call.
.Sh RIGHTS
The following rights may be specified in a rights mask:
.Bl -tag -width CAP_EXTATTR_DELETE
.It Dv CAP_ACCEPT
Permit
.Xr accept 2 .
.It Dv CAP_ACL_CHECK

may also affect binding behavior.

Support for capabilities and capabilities mode was developed as part of the

Project.

This man page should list the set of permitted system calls more specifically
for each capability right.

Capability rights sometimes have unclear indirect impacts, which should be
documented, or at least hinted at.
