Required Capabilities
Libglib
A 3rd-party application does not need any capabilities in order to use
the libglib APIs. The following exceptions exist for the GIOChannel APIs:
Capability |
Description |
| NetworkServices | A user capability that grants access to a remote service without any restriction on its physical location. Typically, such a location is unknown to the phone user, and such services may incur cost for the phone user. Voice calls, SMS, and Internet services are good examples of such network services. They are supported by GSM, CDMA, and all IP transport protocols including Bluetooth profiles over IP. |
| NetworkControl | Grants the right to modify or access network protocol controls. Typically when an action can change the behavior of all existing and future connections, it should be protected by this capability. For example, forcing all existing connections on a specific protocol to be dropped, or changing the priority of a call. |
| AllFiles | AllFiles capability is needed if file operations require read-write access to any directory under \private or read-only access to any directory under \sys. |
Libgthread
Capability |
Description |
| PowerMgmt | Grants the right:
|
| ProtServ | Grants the right to a server to register with a protected name. Currently, protected names start with a "!" character. The kernel prevents servers without this capability from using such a name, and therefore prevents protected servers from being impersonated. |
Libgmodule
A 3rd-arty application does not need any capabilities in order to use libgmodule APIs.
