+.Os FreeBSD 5.0
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cap_get_proc
+.Nd Obtain the Current Process Capability State
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/capability.h>
+.Ft cap_t
+.Fn cap_get_proc "void"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The function
+.Fn cap_get_proc
+shall allocate a capability state in working storage, set its state to that
+of the calling process, and return a pointer to the newly created
+capability state.
+.Pp
+This function may cause memory to be allocated.
+The caller should free any releasable memory, when the capability state in
+the working storage is no longer required, by calling
+.Fn cap_free
+with the cap_t as an argument.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
+development at this time.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, this function shall return a cap_t value.
+Otherwise, a value of
+.Va (cap_t)NULL
+shall be returned and
+.Va errno
+shall be set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+If any of the following conditions occur, the
+.Fn cap_get_proc
+function shall return
+.Va (cap_t)NULL
+and set
+.Va errno
+to the corresponding value:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+The capability state to be returned requires more memory than is allowed
+by the hardware or system-imposed memory management constrains.

+.Sh STANDARDS
+POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion
+of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
+mailing list.  To join this list, see the
+.Fx
+POSIX.1e implementation
+page for more information.
+.Sh HISTORY
+Support for POSIX.1e Capabilities was developed as part of the TrustedBSD
+Project.
+POSIX.1e Capability support was introduced in
+.Fx 5.0 ,
+and development continues.
