NAME
       capng_apply - apply the stored capabilities settings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cap-ng.h>

       int capng_apply(capng_select_t set);

DESCRIPTION
       capng_apply  will  transfer  the	 specified internal posix capabilities
       settings to the kernel. The options are CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS for the  tra‐
       ditional	 capabilities,	CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS  for  the bounding set, or
       CAPNG_SELECT_BOTH if transferring both is desired.

RETURN VALUE
       This returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.

NOTES
       If you are doing multi-threaded programming, calling this function will
       only  set  capabilities	on  the	 calling thread. All other threads are
       unaffected. If you want	to  set	 overall  capabilities	for  a	multi-
       threaded process, you will need to do that before creating any threads.
       See the capset syscall for more information on this topic.
