Description

Provides Python bindings for working with Linux POSIX capabilities. Capabilities let programs receive specific privileges without giving them full root power, which is useful for safer system tools and services.

Use it when Python software needs to inspect or manage process and file capabilities. It is mainly relevant to developers, administrators, and security tooling.
