| This is a library for getting and setting POSIX.1e (formerly POSIX 6) |
| draft 15 capabilities. |
| |
| This library would not have been possible without the help of |
| |
| Aleph1, Roland Buresund and Andrew Main, Alexander Kjeldaas. |
| |
| More information on capabilities in the Linux kernel can be found at |
| |
| http://linux.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/ |
| |
| # INSTALLATION |
| |
| Linux-Caps % make |
| |
| builds the library and the programs |
| |
| Linux-Caps % make install |
| |
| installs the library libcap.XX.Y in /lib/ |
| the binaries in /bin/ |
| the <sys/capability.h> file in /usr/include |
| |
| * for some example programs look in progs. |
