CAPNG_SAVE_STATE(3)						   Libcap-ng API					       CAPNG_SAVE_STATE(3)

NAME
       capng_save_state - get the internal library state

SYNOPSIS
       #include <cap-ng.h>

       void *capng_save_state(void);

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.

RETURN VALUE
       This returns NULL on failure and a non-NULL pointer otherwise.
