+.Sh NAME
+.Nm gelf_getcap ,
+.Nm gelf_update_cap
+.Nd read and update ELF capability information
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libelf
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In gelf.h
+.Ft "GElf_Cap *"
+.Fn gelf_getcap "Elf_Data *data" "int ndx" "GElf_Cap *cap"
+.Ft int
+.Fn gelf_update_cap "Elf_Data *data" "int ndx" "GElf_Cap *cap"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These convenience functions are used to retrieve and update class-dependent
+.Vt Elf32_Cap
+or
+.Vt Elf64_Cap
+information.
+.Pp
+Argument
+.Ar data
+is an
+.Vt Elf_Data
+descriptor associated with a section of type
+.Dv SHT_SUNW_cap .
+Argument
+.Ar ndx
+is the index of the entry being retrieved or updated.
+The class-independent
+.Vt GElf_Cap
+structure is described in
+.Xr gelf 3 .
+.Pp
+Function
+.Fn gelf_getcap
+retrieves the class-dependent entry at index
+.Ar ndx
+in data buffer
+.Ar data
+and copies it to the destination pointed to by argument
+.Ar cap
+after translation to class-independent form.
+.Pp
+Function
+.Fn gelf_update_cap
+converts the class-independent entry pointed to
+by argument
+.Ar cap
+to class-dependent form, and writes it to the entry at index
+.Ar ndx
+in the data buffer described by argument
+.Ar data .
+Function
+.Fn gelf_update_cap
+signals an error if any of the values in the class-independent
+representation exceeds the representable limits of the target
+type.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Function
+.Fn gelf_getcap
+returns the value of argument
+.Ar cap
+if successful, or NULL in case of an error.
+Function
+.Fn gelf_update_cap
+returns a non-zero value if successful, or zero in case of an error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+These functions may fail with the following errors:
+.Bl -tag -width "[ELF_E_RESOURCE]"
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
+Arguments
+.Ar data
+or
+.Ar cap
+were NULL.
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
+Argument
+.Ar ndx
+was less than zero or larger than the number of entries in the data
+descriptor.
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_ARGUMENT
+Data descriptor
+.Ar data
+was not associated with a section of type
+.Dv SHT_SUNW_cap .
+.It Bq Er ELF_E_RANGE
+A value was not representable in the target type.
