netcap - a program to see capabilitiesSYNOPSIS top
**netcap**DESCRIPTION top
**netcap** is a program that prints out a report of process
capabilities. If the application is using tcp, udp, raw, or packet
family of sockets AND has any capabilities, it will be in the
report. If the process has partial capabilities, it is further
examined to see if it has an open-ended bounding set. If this is
found to be true, a '+' symbol is added. If the process has
ambient capabilities, a '@' symbols is added.
Some directories in the /proc file system are readonly by root.
The program will try to access and report what it can. But if
nothing comes out, try changing to the root user and re-run this
program.SEE ALSO top
