75.Sh DESCRIPTION
76The
77.Nm caph_enter ,
78.Nm caph_rights_limit ,
79.Nm caph_ioctls_limit
80and
81.Nm caph_fcntls_limit
82are respectively equivalent to
83.Xr cap_enter 2 ,
84.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 ,
85.Xr cap_ioctls_limit 2
86and
87.Xr cap_fcntls_limit 2 ,
88it returns success when the kernel is built without support of the capability
89mode.
90.Pp
91The
92.Nm caph_enter_casper
93is equivalent to the
94.Nm caph_enter
95it returns success when the system is built without Casper support.
96.Pp
97The
98.Nm capsicum helpers
99are a set of a inline functions which simplify modifying programs to use
100Capsicum.
101The goal is to reduce duplicated code patterns.
102The
103.Nm capsicum helpers
104are part of
105.Nm libcapsicum
106but there is no need to link to the library.
107.Pp
108.Fn caph_limit_stream
109restricts capabilities on
110.Fa fd
111to only those needed by POSIX stream objects (that is, FILEs).
112.Pp
113These flags can be provided:
114.Pp
115.Bl -tag -width "CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF" -compact -offset indent
116.It Dv CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF
117Do not return an error if file descriptor is invalid.
118.It Dv CAPH_READ
119Set CAP_READ on limited descriptor.
120.It Dv CAPH_WRITE
121Set CAP_WRITE on limited descriptor.
122.El
123.Pp
124.Fn caph_limit_stdin ,
125.Fn caph_limit_stderr
126and
127.Fn caph_limit_stdout
128limit standard descriptors using the
129.Nm caph_limit_stream
130function.
131.Pp
132.Fn caph_limit_stdio
133limits stdin, stderr and stdout.
134.Pp
135.Nm caph_stream_rights
136may be used to initialize
137.Fa rights
138with the same rights that a stream would be limited to, as if
139.Fn caph_limit_stream
140had been invoked using the same
141.Fa flags .
142.Pp
143.Fn caph_cache_tzdata
144precaches all timezone data needed to use
145.Li libc
146local time functions.
147.Pp
148.Fn caph_cache_catpages
149caches Native Language Support (NLS) data.
150NLS data is used for localized error printing by
151.Xr strerror 3
152and
153.Xr err 3 ,
154among others.
