GETPCAPS(8)                            System Manager's Manual                           GETPCAPS(8)

NAME
       getpcaps - display process capabilities

SYNOPSIS
       getpcaps [optional args] pid...

DESCRIPTION
       getpcaps  displays  the  capabilities on the processes indicated by the pid value(s) given on
       the command line.  A pid of 0 displays the capabilities of the process that is running  getp‐
       caps itself.

       The capabilities are displayed in the cap_from_text(3) format.

       Optional arguments:

       --help or --usage
              Displays usage information and exits.

       --ugly or --legacy
              Displays output in a somewhat ugly legacy format.

       --verbose
              Displays  usage in a legacy-like format but not quite so ugly in modern default termi‐
              nal fonts.

       --iab  Displays IAB tuple capabilities from the process. The output format here is  the  text
              format  described in cap_iab(3). Double quotes encase the regular process capabilities
              and square brackets encase the IAB tuple. This format is also used by captree(8).
