29.Dt CAP_IOCTLS_LIMIT 2
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm cap_ioctls_limit ,
33.Nm cap_ioctls_get
34.Nd manage allowed ioctl commands
35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libc
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/capsicum.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn cap_ioctls_limit "int fd" "const unsigned long *cmds" "size_t ncmds"
41.Ft ssize_t
42.Fn cap_ioctls_get "int fd" "unsigned long *cmds" "size_t maxcmds"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44If a file descriptor is granted the
45.Dv CAP_IOCTL
46capability right, the list of allowed
47.Xr ioctl 2
48commands can be selectively reduced (but never expanded) with the
49.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
50system call.
51The
52.Fa cmds
53argument is an array of
54.Xr ioctl 2
55commands and the
56.Fa ncmds
57argument specifies the number of elements in the array.
58There can be up to
59.Va 256
60elements in the array.
61Including an element that has been previously revoked will generate an error.
62After a successful call only those listed in the array may be used.
63.Pp
64The list of allowed ioctl commands for a given file descriptor can be obtained
65with the
66.Fn cap_ioctls_get
67system call.
68The
69.Fa cmds
70argument points at memory that can hold up to
71.Fa maxcmds
72values.
73The function populates the provided buffer with up to
74.Fa maxcmds
75elements, but always returns the total number of ioctl commands allowed for the
76given file descriptor.
77The total number of ioctls commands for the given file descriptor can be
78obtained by passing
79.Dv NULL as the
80.Fa cmds
81argument and
82.Va 0
83as the
84.Fa maxcmds
85argument.
86If all ioctl commands are allowed
87.Dv ( CAP_IOCTL
88capability right is assigned to the file descriptor and the
89.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
90system call was never called for this file descriptor), the
91.Fn cap_ioctls_get
92system call will return
93.Dv CAP_IOCTLS_ALL
94and will not modify the buffer pointed to by the
95.Fa cmds
96argument.
97.Sh RETURN VALUES
98.Rv -std cap_ioctls_limit
99.Pp
100The
101.Fn cap_ioctls_get
102function, if successful, returns the total number of allowed ioctl commands or
103the value
104.Dv CAP_IOCTLS_ALL
105if all ioctls commands are allowed.
106On failure the value
107.Va -1
108is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
109.Sh ERRORS
110The
111.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
112and
113.Fn cap_ioctls_get
114system calls will fail if:
115.Bl -tag -width Er
116.It Bq Er EBADF
117The
118.Fa fd
119argument is not a valid descriptor.
120.It Bq Er EFAULT
121The
122.Fa cmds
123argument points at an invalid address.
124.It Bq Er ENOSYS
125The running kernel was compiled without
126.Cd "options CAPABILITY_MODE" .
127.El
128.Pp
129The
130.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
131system call may also return the following errors:
132.Bl -tag -width Er
133.It Bq Er EINVAL
134The
135.Fa ncmds
136argument is greater than
137.Va 256 .
138.It Bq Er ENOTCAPABLE
139.Fa cmds
140would expand the list of allowed
141.Xr ioctl 2
142commands.

148.Sh HISTORY
149The
150.Fn cap_ioctls_get
151and
152.Fn cap_ioctls_limit
153system calls first appeared in
154.Fx 8.3 .
155Support for capabilities and capabilities mode was developed as part of the
156.Tn TrustedBSD
157Project.
