Description

Provides tools and libraries for Linux capabilities, which split traditional root privileges into smaller permission sets. Administrators and services use them to grant only the privileges a program needs.

Use capability changes carefully because they affect process and file privileges. Incorrect settings can either break services or give programs more power than intended.

How to run

getcap

Commands: getcap
