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