+.Dt CAP_FROM_TEXT 3
+.Os FreeBSD 5.0
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cap_from_text
+.Nd Convert Text to a Capability State in Working Store
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libposix1e
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/capability.h>
+.Ft cap_t
+.Fn cap_from_text "const char *buf_p"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This function allocates and initializes a capability state in working
+storage.
+It then sets the contents of this newly created capability state to the
+state represented by the human-readable, null terminated character string
+pointed to by
+.Va buf_p .
+.Pp
+This function may cause memory to be allocated.
+The caller should free any releasable memory, when the capability state in
+working storage is no longer required, by calling
+.Xr cap_free 3
+with the
+.Va (void *)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, the function returns a pointer to the
+internal representation of the capability in working storage.
+Otherwise, a value of
+.Va (cap_t)NULL
+is returned, and
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+If any of the following conditions occur, the
+.Fn cap_from_text
+function shall return a value of
+.Va (cap_t)NULL
+and set
+.Va errno
+to the corresponding value:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Va buf_p
+argument does not refer to a character string, the string pointed to by
+.Va buf_p
+is not parseable by the function, the text string contains a
+capability name or a flag character that the implementation does not
+recognize as valid.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+The capability state to be returned requires more memory than is allowed
+by the hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.

+.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

+POSIX.1e implementation
+page for more information.
+.Sh HISTORY
+POSIX.1e support was introduced in
+.Fx 4.0 ,
+and development continues.
