Description
Currently there's no elegant way to find out from shell if some privilege is available for the process.
From man page:
/usr/bin/ppriv -q [-f {+-}{ADMPTUX}] [privilege-specification]
...
–q
Tests whether privileges are in the effective set and whether flags are set or non-set. The programs exits successfully when all tests are fullfilled.
