NAME

       caprint - Capability Ambient Print

SYNOPSIS

       caprint [ OPTIONS ] [ pid ]

DESCRIPTION

       caprint  shows  the  ambient capabilities of a running program (whose pid can be specified as an optional
       parameter, otherwise caprint shows the capabilities of caprint itself).

OPTIONS

       caprint accepts the following options:

       -l
       --long run in verbose mode. caprint shows the bitmask for each capability owned by the  process  and  the
              resulting mask of the capability set.

       -c
       --compact
              emit  a  compact  output (a single line composed of a comma separated list of the capability short
              names). This output can be copied as a capability list for the command cado(1).

       -p
       --prompt
              this option has been created to provide users with a suitable shell prompt to warn  the  users  of
              the  extra  capabilities  granted  to that shell (and of the extra danger in case of running wrong
              commands).  As an example, it is possible to set the bash prompt editing the .bashrc in the user's
              home directory:

                    if which caprint >&/dev/null ; then
                      ambient=$(caprint -p)
                    fi

                    PS1='\u@\h:\w\$$ambient'

       -h
       --help print a short usage banner and exit.
