NAME

       capng_print_caps_numeric - print numeric values for capabilities set

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       char   *capng_print_caps_numeric(capng_print_t   where,  capng_select_t
       set);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_print_caps_numeric will create a numeric  representation  of  the
       internal  capabilities. The representation can be sent to either stdout
       or  a  buffer  by  passing  CAPNG_PRINT_STDOUT  or   CAPNG_PRINT_BUFFER
       respectively  for  the where parameter. If the option was for a buffer,
       this function will malloc a buffer that the caller must free.

       The set parameter controls what is included in the representation.  The
       legal  options  are CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS for the traditional capabilities,
       CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS for  the  bounding  set,  or  CAPNG_SELECT_BOTH  if
       clearing both is desired.

RETURN VALUE

       If  CAPNG_PRINT_BUFFER  was  selected  for where, this will be the text
       buffer and NULL on failure. If  CAPNG_PRINT_STDOUT  was  selected  then
       this value will be NULL no matter what.
