| [PATCH 2/3] exporting capability name/code pairs
|
| This patch enables to export code/name pairs of capabilities the running
| kernel supported.
|
| A newer kernel sometimes adds new capabilities, like CAP_MAC_ADMIN
| at 2.6.25. However, we have no interface to disclose what capabilities
| are supported on the running kernel. Thus, we have to maintain libcap
| version in appropriate one synchronously.
|
| This patch enables libcap to collect the list of capabilities at run time,
| and provide them for users. It helps to improve portability of library.
|
| It exports these information as regular files under
/sys/kernel/capability.
| The numeric node exports its name, the symbolic node exports its code.

| +Date: Feb 2008
| +Contact: KaiGai Kohei <kaigai@...jp.nec.com>
| +Description:
| + The entries under /sys/kernel/capability are used to export
| + the list of capabilities the running kernel supports.
| +
| + - /sys/kernel/capability/version
| + returns the most preferable version number for the
| + running kernel.
| + e.g) $ cat /sys/kernel/capability/version
| + 0x20071026
| +
| + - /sys/kernel/capability/code/<numerical representation>
| + returns its symbolic representation, on reading.
| + e.g) $ cat /sys/kernel/capability/codes/30
| + cap_audit_control
| +
| + - /sys/kernel/capability/name/<symbolic representation>
| + returns its numerical representation, on reading.
| + e.g) $ cat /sys/kernel/capability/names/cap_sys_pacct
