Detailed Description

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

Capability type for RPC interfaces (see L4::Cap<T>).

Template Parameters

T	type of the interface referenced by the capability.

In contrast to L4::Cap<T> this type additionally stores a rights mask that shall be used when the capability is transferred to the receiver. This allows to apply restrictions to the transferred capability in the form of a subset of the rights possessed by the sender.
