capng_apply_caps_fd3
Write file-based capabilities to extended attributes
Usage
#include <cap-ng.h>
int capng_apply_caps_fd(int fd);
Overview
This function will write the file based capabilities to the extended attributes of the file that the descriptor was opened against. The bounding set is not included in file based capabilities operations. Note that this function will only work if compiled on a kernel that supports file based capabilities such as 2.6.2 6 and later.
Return value
This returns 0 on success, -1 if something besides a regular file is passed or the extended attribute operation fails, and -2 if the file capability data cannot be serialized.
