| .SH NAME |
| captree \- display process tree capabilities |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .BR captree " [optional args] " |
| .IR [pid|glob-name ... ] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B captree |
| displays the capabilities on the mentioned processes indicated by |
| .IR pid or glob-name |
| value(s) given on the command line. If no |
| .I pid |
| etc values are supplied, |
| .IR pid =1 |
| is implied. A |
| .I pid |
| value of 0 displays all the processes known to the kernel. |
| .PP |
| The POSIX.1e capabilities are displayed in double quotes in the |
| .BR cap_from_text (3) |
| format. The IAB tuple of capabilities is displayed between square |
| brackets in the text format described in |
| .BR cap_iab (3). |
| Note, the IAB tuple text is omitted if it contains empty A and B |
| components. This is because the regular POSIX.1e text contains |
| information about the Inheritable flag already. This behavior can be |
| overridden with the |
| .B --verbose |
| command line argument. |
| .PP |
| Optional arguments (which must precede the list of pid|glob-name |
| values): |
| .TP |
| .B \-\-help |
| Displays usage information and exits. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-\-verbose |
| Displays capability sets and IAB tuples even when they are empty, or |
| redundant. |
| .TP |
| .BI \-\-depth =n |
| Displays the process tree to a depth of |
| .IR n . |
| Note, the default value for this parameter is 0, which implies |
| infinite depth. |
| .TP |
| .BI \-\-colo[u]r =false |
| Colo[u]rs the targeted PIDs, if stdout is a TTY, in red. This option |
| defaults to true when running via a TTY. The \fB--color\fI=false\fR |
| argument will suppress this color. Piping the output into some other |
| program will also suppress the use of colo[u]r. |
