impl Privilege

pub fn discover() -> Result<Self>

Discover information about the platform privileges.

pub const fn new(has_privileges: bool, needs_privileges: bool) -> Self

Create a new Privilege instance.

pub const fn has_privileges(&self) -> bool

Are we running with the privileges required for raw sockets?

pub const fn needs_privileges(&self) -> bool

Does our platform always need privileges for ICMP?

Specifically, each platform requires privileges unless it supports the IPPROTO_ICMP socket type which also allows the IP_HDRINCL socket option to be set.

pub fn acquire_privileges() -> Result<Self>

Acquire privileges, if possible.

Check if CAP_NET_RAW is in the permitted set and if so raise it to the effective set.

pub fn drop_privileges() -> Result<()>

Drop all privileges.

Clears the effective set.
