Package description for 'libcap'

A library for getting and setting POSIX.1e capabilities.

 As of Linux 2.2.0, the power of the superuser has been partitioned
 into a set of discrete capabilities (in other places, these
 capabilities are know as privileges).

 The contents of the libcap package are a library and a number of
 simple programs that are intended to show how an application/daemon
 can be protected (with wrappers) or rewritten to take advantage of
 this fine grained approach to constraining the danger to your system
 from programs running as 'root'.
