NAME
       capng_get_caps_fd -

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cap-ng.h>

       int capng_get_caps_fd(int fd);

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will read the file based capabilities stored in extended attributes of the file that the descriptor was opened against. The
       bounding set is not included in file based capabilities operations. Note that this function will only work if compiled  on  a  kernel  that
       supports  file  based  capabilities such as 2.6.26 and later. If the "magic" bit is set, then all effect capability bits are set. Otherwise
       the bits are cleared.

RETURN VALUE
       This returns 0 on success and -1 on failure.
