.TH "CAPNG_SAVE_STATE" "3" "June 2009" "Red Hat" "Libcap-ng API"
.SH NAME
capng_save_state \- get the internal library state
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B #include <cap-ng.h>
.sp
void *capng_save_state(void);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
capng_save_state is a function that returns a pointer to the internal state of the libcap-ng library. It should be considered opaque and not for alteration directly. This function should be used when you suspect a third party library may use libcap-ng also and want to make sure it doesn't alter something important. This function is not available in the python bindings.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
This returns NULL on failure and a non-NULL pointer otherwise.
.SH NOTES
The structure returned by capng_save_state is malloc'd; it should be free'd if not used.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR capng_restore_state (3),
.BR capabilities (7)
