DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE
