NAME

6       filecap - a program to see capabilities
7

SYNOPSIS

9       filecap [ -a | -d | /dir | /dir/file [cap1 cap2 ...] ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       filecap  is  a  program  that prints out a report of programs with file
13       based capabilities. If a file is not in  the  report  or  there  is  no
14       report  at all, no capabilities were found. For expedience, the default
15       is to check only the directories in the PATH environmental variable. If
16       the  -a  command  line  option  is  given, then all directories will be
17       checked. If a directory is  passed,  it  will  recursively  check  that
18       directory.  If a path to a file is given, it will only check that file.
19       If the path to the file includes capabilities, then they are written to
20       the file.

OPTIONS

24       -a     This  tells  the  program to show all capabilities starting from
25              the / directory. Normally the  PATH  environmental  variable  is
26              used  to  show  you capabilities on files you are likely to exe‐
27              cute.
28
29       -d     This dumps all capabilities for reference.
