README
1This is a library for getting and setting POSIX.1e (formerly POSIX 6)
2draft 15 capabilities.
3
4Natively supported languages are C/C++ and Go.
5
6This library would not have been possible without the help of
7
8 Aleph1, Roland Buresund and Andrew Main, Alexander Kjeldaas.

16# BUILDING AND INSTALLATION
17
18 $ make
19
20 builds the library and the programs that are expected
21 to work on your system. For example, if you have
22 Linux-PAM installed, pam_cap is built. A golang
23 installation is required to build the Go packages.
24
25 $ make test
26
27 runs all of the tests not requiring privilege
28
29 $ make sudotest
30
31 runs all of the tests including those that require privilege.
32
33 $ sudo make install
34
35 default installs the library libcap.XX.Y in /lib[64]/
36 the binaries in /sbin/
37 the header files in /usr/include
38 the {libcap,libpsx}.pc files in /usr/lib[64]/pkgconfig
39 the Go packages (if built) under /usr/share/gocode/src
40
41For some example C programs look in the progs/ directory. Specifically,
42capsh, getpcaps, setcap and getcap.
43
44Go example programs are to be found in the goapps/ directory. There
45are also some more complicated integration tests in the go/ directory.
