Description-en: Development and header files for libcap-ng
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.
