57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58The
59.Nm capsicum helpers
60are a set of a inline functions which simplify modifying programs to use
61Capsicum.
62The goal is to reduce duplicated code patterns.
63The
64.Nm capsicum helpers
65are part of
66.Nm libcapsicum
67but there is no need to link to the library.
68.Pp
69.Fn caph_limit_stream
70restricts capabilities on
71.Fa fd
72to only those needed by POSIX stream objects (that is, FILEs).
73.Pp
74These flags can be provided:
75.Pp
76.Bl -tag -width "CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF" -compact -offset indent
77.It Dv CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF
78Do not return an error if file descriptor is invalid.
79.It Dv CAPH_READ
80Set CAP_READ on limited descriptor.
81.It Dv CAPH_WRITE
82Set CAP_WRITE on limited descriptor.
83.El
84.Pp
85.Fn caph_limit_stdin ,
86.Fn caph_limit_stderr
87and
88.Fn caph_limit_stdout
89limit standard descriptors using the
90.Nm caph_limit_stream
91function.
92.Pp
93.Fn caph_limit_stdio
94limits stdin, stderr and stdout.
95.Pp
96.Fn caph_cache_tzdata
97precaches all timezone data needed to use
98.Li libc
99local time functions.
100.Pp
101.Fn caph_cache_catpages
102caches Native Language Support (NLS) data.
103NLS data is used for localized error printing by
104.Xr strerror 3
105and
106.Xr err 3 ,
107among others.
