If the file descriptor does not have the +.B CAP_FCNTL +primary right, the returned +.I fcntls +value will be zero. +.PP +If the +.I nioctls +argument is non-NULL, it will be filled in with the number of allowed +.BR ioctl (2) +commands, or with the value CAP_IOCTLS_ALL to indicate that all +.BR ioctl (2) +commands are allowed. If the file descriptor does not have the +.B CAP_IOCTL +primary right, the returned +.I nioctls +value will be zero. +.PP +The +.I ioctls +argument (if non-NULL) should point at memory that can hold up to +.I nioctls +values. +The system call populates the provided buffer with up to +.I nioctls +elements, but always returns the total number of
I assume you mean "up to the initial value of *nioctls elements" or something. Can you clarify? --Andy
