Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Cap

✓ from pyprctl import Cap

✗ from pyprctl import prctl

CapState

✓ from pyprctl import CapState

FileCaps

✓ from pyprctl import FileCaps

Demonstrates basic usage: querying capability sets and checking support.

from pyprctl import prctl from pyprctl.caps import Cap # Get current capability sets permitted = prctl.cap_get_pc() effective = prctl.cap_get_ec() print(permitted, effective) # Check if a capability is supported if Cap.CAP_NET_RAW.is_supported(): print("CAP_NET_RAW is supported")

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOn Python <3.8, os.fsencode() may behave differently for process names; always pass str to prctl_set_name()

fix

Ensure argument is a str, not bytes.

affects: >=0.1.3

breakingv0.1.2 removed follow_symlinks parameter from FileCaps methods; code using it will break.

fix

Remove follow_symlinks argument from FileCaps.get() / FileCaps.set() calls.

affects: >=0.1.2
