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

NAME         top

       capng_restore_state - set the internal library state

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       void capng_restore_state(void **state);

DESCRIPTION         top

       capng_restore_state is a function that takes the state
       information previously saved by capng_save_state and restores the
       libraries internal state. This function is not available in the
       python bindings.

RETURN VALUE         top

       None.

NOTES         top

       capng_restore_state free's the previously malloc'd state, thus
       the state can't be restored multiple times.

       The working pid is part of the restored state, if restoring the
       state to a different thread, capng_setpid can be used to update
       it.
