  Description     : An alternate posix capabilities library

 This library implements the user-space interfaces to the POSIX
 1003.1e capabilities available in Linux kernels.  These capabilities
are
 a partitioning of the all powerful root privilege into a set of
distinct
 privileges.
 .
 The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with posix
 capabilities much easier than the traditional libcap library.
