| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| |
| capng_save_state is a function that returns a pointer to the internal state of the libcap-ng library. It should be considered opaque and not for alteration directly. This function should be used when you suspect a third party library may use libcap-ng also and want to make sure it doesn't alter something important. This function is not available in the python bindings. |
| |
| .SH "RETURN VALUE" |
| |
| This returns NULL on failure and a non-NULL pointer otherwise. |
