Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class L4::Cap< T >

C++ interface for capabilities.

Template Parameters
TType of the object the capability points to.

The C++ version of a capability is comparable to a pointer, in fact it is a kind of smart pointer for our kernel objects and the objects derived from the kernel objects (L4::Kobject).

Add

#include <l4/sys/capability>

to your code to use the capability interface.

Examples
examples/clntsrv/client.cc, examples/libs/l4re/c++/mem_alloc/ma+rm.cc, examples/libs/l4re/c++/shared_ds/ds_clnt.cc, examples/libs/l4re/c++/shared_ds/ds_srv.cc, examples/libs/l4re/streammap/client.cc, and examples/sys/migrate/thread_migrate.cc.
