72.Sh DESCRIPTION
73The
74.Nm caph_enter ,
75.Nm caph_rights_limit ,
76.Nm caph_ioctls_limit
77and
78.Nm caph_fcntls_limit
79are respectively equivalent to
80.Xr cap_enter 2 ,
81.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 ,
82.Xr cap_ioctls_limit 2
83and
84.Xr cap_fcntls_limit 2 ,
85it returns success when the kernel is built without support of the capability
86mode.
87.Pp
88The
89.Nm caph_enter_casper
90is equivalent to the
91.Nm caph_enter
92it returns success when the system is built without Casper support.
93.Pp
94The
95.Nm capsicum helpers
96are a set of a inline functions which simplify modifying programs to use
97Capsicum.
98The goal is to reduce duplicated code patterns.
99The
100.Nm capsicum helpers
101are part of
102.Nm libcapsicum
103but there is no need to link to the library.
104.Pp
105.Fn caph_limit_stream
106restricts capabilities on
107.Fa fd
108to only those needed by POSIX stream objects (that is, FILEs).
109.Pp
110These flags can be provided:
111.Pp
112.Bl -tag -width "CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF" -compact -offset indent
113.It Dv CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF
114Do not return an error if file descriptor is invalid.
115.It Dv CAPH_READ
116Set CAP_READ on limited descriptor.
117.It Dv CAPH_WRITE
118Set CAP_WRITE on limited descriptor.
119.El
120.Pp
121.Fn caph_limit_stdin ,
122.Fn caph_limit_stderr
123and
124.Fn caph_limit_stdout
125limit standard descriptors using the
126.Nm caph_limit_stream
127function.
128.Pp
129.Fn caph_limit_stdio
130limits stdin, stderr and stdout.
131.Pp
132.Fn caph_cache_tzdata
133precaches all timezone data needed to use
134.Li libc
135local time functions.
136.Pp
137.Fn caph_cache_catpages
138caches Native Language Support (NLS) data.
139NLS data is used for localized error printing by
140.Xr strerror 3
141and
142.Xr err 3 ,
143among others.
