DESCRIPTION

15       capng_save_state  is  a function that returns a pointer to the internal
16       state of the libcap-ng library. It should be considered opaque and  not
17       for  alteration directly. This function should be used when you suspect
18       a third party library may use libcap-ng also and want to make  sure  it
19       doesn't  alter  something  important. This function is not available in
20       the python bindings.

RETURN VALUE
