CAPNG_NAME_TO_CAPABILITY(3) Libcap-ng API CAPNG_NAME_TO_CAPABILITY(3)NAMEcapng_name_to_capability - convert capability text to integer
SYNOPSIS
#include <cap-ng.h>
int capng_name_to_capability(const char *name);
DESCRIPTIONcapng_name_to_capability will take the string being passed and look it
up to see what its integer value would be. The string being input is
the same name as the define in linux/capabiliy.h with the CAP_ prefix
removed. The string case does not matter. The integer that is output is
the same as the define would be from linux/capabiliy.h. This is useful
for taking string input and converting to something that can be used
with capng_update.
RETURN VALUE
This returns a negative number on failure and the correct define other‐
wise.
