73.Sh DESCRIPTION
74The
75.Nm caph_enter ,
76.Nm caph_rights_limit ,
77.Nm caph_ioctls_limit
78and
79.Nm caph_fcntls_limit
80are respectively equivalent to
81.Xr cap_enter 2 ,
82.Xr cap_rights_limit 2 ,
83.Xr cap_ioctls_limit 2
84and
85.Xr cap_fcntls_limit 2 ,
86it returns success when the kernel is built without support of the capability
87mode.
88.Pp
89The
90.Nm caph_enter_casper
91is equivalent to the
92.Nm caph_enter
93it returns success when the system is built without Casper support.
94.Pp
95The
96.Nm capsicum helpers
97are a set of a inline functions which simplify modifying programs to use
98Capsicum.
99The goal is to reduce duplicated code patterns.
100The
101.Nm capsicum helpers
102are part of
103.Nm libcapsicum
104but there is no need to link to the library.
105.Pp
106.Fn caph_limit_stream
107restricts capabilities on
108.Fa fd
109to only those needed by POSIX stream objects (that is, FILEs).
110.Pp
111These flags can be provided:
112.Pp
113.Bl -tag -width "CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF" -compact -offset indent
114.It Dv CAPH_IGNORE_EBADF
115Do not return an error if file descriptor is invalid.
116.It Dv CAPH_READ
117Set CAP_READ on limited descriptor.
118.It Dv CAPH_WRITE
119Set CAP_WRITE on limited descriptor.
120.El
121.Pp
122.Fn caph_limit_stdin ,
123.Fn caph_limit_stderr
124and
125.Fn caph_limit_stdout
126limit standard descriptors using the
127.Nm caph_limit_stream
128function.
129.Pp
130.Fn caph_limit_stdio
131limits stdin, stderr and stdout.
132.Pp
133.Nm caph_stream_rights
134may be used to initialize
135.Fa rights
136with the same rights that a stream would be limited to, as if
137.Fn caph_limit_stream
138had been invoked using the same
139.Fa flags .
140.Pp
141.Fn caph_cache_tzdata
142precaches all timezone data needed to use
143.Li libc
144local time functions.
145.Pp
146.Fn caph_cache_catpages
147caches Native Language Support (NLS) data.
148NLS data is used for localized error printing by
149.Xr strerror 3
150and
151.Xr err 3 ,
152among others.
