CAPNG_NAME_TO_CAPABILITY(3)					   Libcap-ng API				       CAPNG_NAME_TO_CAPABILITY(3)

NAME

       capng_name_to_capability - convert capability text to integer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cap-ng.h>

       int capng_name_to_capability(const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       capng_name_to_capability will take the string being passed and look it up to see what its integer value would be. The string being input is
       the same name as the define in linux/capabiliy.h with the CAP_ prefix removed. The string case does not matter. The integer that is  output
       is  the	same as the define would be from linux/capabiliy.h. This is useful for taking string input and converting to something that can be
       used with capng_update.

RETURN VALUE

       This returns a negative number on failure and the correct define otherwise.
