CAPNG_CLEAR(3)

💖 NAME 💖

capng_clear — bestie, this one clears your chosen capabilities set. like, zeroes it tf out. bye bits ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <cap-ng.h>

void capng_clear(capng_select_t set);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — capng_clear sets all the bits in the POSIX capabilities set you picked to 0. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-trick pony and she ate.

and the set you pick is one of these iconic little options, passed as set:

• CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS — for the traditional capabilities, the OGs 💅
• CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS — for the bounding set, the vibes-limiter ✨
• CAPNG_SELECT_BOTH — when clearing both is what you desire, because why choose 🫶
• CAPNG_SELECT_AMBIENT — if you're only operating on the ambient capabilities, very niche, very demure 🌸
• CAPNG_SELECT_ALL — if clearing literally all of it is the goal. main character energy, no survivors 💀

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

None. literally nothing comes back. no exit code, no little treat, no note. it's giving silent and mysterious 😌

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• capabilities(7) — go read her, she knows things 💜
