int cap_clear(cap_t cap_p);
int cap_get_flag(cap_t cap_p, cap_value_t cap, cap_flag_t flag, cap_flag_value_t *value_p);

cap_clear initializes the capability state in working storage identified by cap_p in such a way that all capability flags are cleared.
cap_get_flag obtains the current value of the capability flag, flag, of the capability, cap, from the capability state identified by cap_p and places it in the location pointed to by value_p.
cap_set_flag sets the flag, flag, of each capability in the array caps in the capability state identified by cap_p to value. The argument, ncap, is used to specify the number of capabilities in the array, caps.
A cap_value_t can identify any capability, such as CAP_CHOWN. A cap_flag_t can be set to CAP_EFFECTIVE, CAP_INHERITABLE or CAP_PERMITTED. A cap_flag_value_t can be CAP_CLEAR (0) or CAP_SET (1).
cap_clear, cap_get_flag and cap_set_flag return zero on success, and −1 on failure.
On failure, errno(3) is set to EINVAL, indicating that one of the arguments is invalid.
These functions are specified by POSIX.1e.
