NAME
capng_save_state - get the internal library stateSYNOPSIS
#include <ca-ng.h>void *capng_save_state(void);
DESCRIPTION
capng_save_state is a function that returns a pointer to the internal state of the libca-ng library. It should be considered opaque and not for alteration directly. This function should be used when you suspect a third party library may use libca-ng also and want to make sure it doesn't alter something important. This function is not available in the python bindings.
RETURN VALUE
This returns NULL on failure and a no-NULL pointer otherwise.
NOTES
The structure returned by capng_save_state is malloc'd; it should be free'd if not used.
