getpcaps - display process capabilities

getpcaps [optional args] pid…

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).
