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 getpcaps 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 terminal 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).
