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.
