Originální popis anglicky: capget, capset - set/get process capabilities

Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual

STRUČNĚ

#undef _POSIX_SOURCE #include <sys/capability.h> int capget(cap_user_header_t hdrp, cap_user_data_t datap); int capset(cap_user_header_t hdrp, const cap_user_data_t datap);

POPIS / INSTRUKCE

As of Linux 2.2, the power of the superuser (root) has been partitioned into a set of discrete capabilities. Every process has a set of effective capabilities identifying which capabilities (if any) it may currently exercise. Every process also has a set of inheritable capabilities that may be passed through an execve(2) call, and a set of permitted capabilities that it can make effective or inheritable. These two functions are the raw kernel interface for getting and setting capabilities. Not only are these system calls specific to Linux, but the kernel API is likely to change and use of these functions (in particular the format of the cap_user_*_t types) is subject to change with each kernel revision. The portable interfaces are cap_set_proc(3) and cap_get_proc(3); if possible you should use those interfaces in applications. If you wish to use the Linux extensions in applications, you should use the easier-to-use interfaces capsetp(3) and capgetp(3).

Current details

Now that you have been warned, some current kernel details. The structs are defined as follows.

#define _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION  0x19980330

typedef struct __user_cap_header_struct {
        int version;
        int pid;
} *cap_user_header_t;

typedef struct __user_cap_data_struct {
        int effective;
        int permitted;
        int inheritable;
} *cap_user_data_t;

The calls will return EINVAL, and set the version field of hdr to _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION when another version was specified. The calls refer to the capabilities of the process indicated by the pid field of hdr when that is nonzero, or to the current process otherwise. For details on the data, see capabilities(7).

NÁVRATOVÁ HODNOTA

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

CHYBY / ERRORY

EFAULT

Bad memory address. Neither of hdrp and datap may be NULL.

EINVAL

One of the arguments was invalid.

EPERM

An attempt was made to add a capability to the Permitted set, or to set a capability in the Effective or Inheritable sets that is not in the Permitted set.

EPERM

The calling process attempted to use capset() to modify the capabilities of a process other than itself, but lacked sufficient privilege; the CAP_SETPCAP capability is required.

ESRCH

No such process.

FURTHER INFORMATION

The portable interface to the capability querying and setting functions is provided by the libcap library and is available from here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs
