.Sh NAME
.Nm Capability rights
.Nd Capsicum capability rights for file descriptors
.Sh DESCRIPTION
When a file descriptor is created by a function such as
.Xr accept 2 ,
.Xr accept4 2 ,
.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
.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 ,
.Xr cap_fcntls_limit 2 and
.Xr cap_ioctls_limit 2
system calls.
Once capability rights are reduced, operations on the file descriptor will be
limited to those permitted by rights.
.Pp
The complete list of capability rights is provided below.
The
.Vt cap_rights_t
type is used to store list of capability rights.
The
.Xr cap_rights_init 3
family of functions should be used to manage the structure.
.Sh RIGHTS
