NAME
       getpcaps - display process capabilities

SYNOPSIS
       getpcaps [optional args] pid...

DESCRIPTION
       getpcaps  displays  the  capabilities on the processes indicated by the
       pid value(s) given on the command line.  A pid of 0 displays the  capa-
       bilities of the process that is running getpcaps itself.

       The capabilities are displayed in the cap_from_text(3) format.

       Optional arguments:

       --help or --usage
              Displays usage information and exits.

       --ugly or --legacy
              Displays output in a somewhat ugly legacy format.

       --verbose
              Displays  usage in a legacy-like format but not quite so ugly in
              modern default terminal fonts.
