NAME

       capng_save_state - get the internal library state

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       void *capng_save_state(void);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_save_state  is  a function that returns a pointer to the internal
       state of the libcap-ng library. It should be considered opaque and  not
       for  alteration directly. This function should be used when you suspect
       a third party library may use libcap-ng also and want to make  sure  it
       doesn’t  alter  something  important. This function is not available in
       the python bindings.

RETURN VALUE

       This returns NULL on failure and a non-NULL pointer otherwise.
