Get the file capabilities of a file in Linux Android

Question

I am wondering how it's possible to get the granted capabilities for a file on the Android file system. libcap is not available for me, therefore, I can't use its functionalities to fetch this.

Is there any other option?

Answer 1

You can use termux app

Run app and then install libcap. Libcap will installed locally for termux:

$ pkg install libcap -y
...

lets check it on Android 7.1.1

$ getcap /system/bin/run-as
/system/bin/run-as = cap_setgid, cap_setuid+ep
