getcap missing in LibC? |

Hello,
I am in the process of porting an application from *BSD to GNU/Linux
and now I think I've run into a possible missing feature in GLibC.
The program makes heavy use of the cget*() capability functions that
exist in, at least, OpenBSD. My question is this: Does there exist
another way of accessing capabilities in GLibC, that I don't know
about, or are these features colliding with some standards compliance?
Either way, I need to know how to proceed with this. Implement support
for getcap capabilities in GLibC or provide this functionality in a
separate library under Linux/GNU.
For more info. on getcap(1) and its friends, see:
http://www.rocketaware.com/man/man3/getcap.3.htm, and
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/gen/
Regards
/Joachim
