+capabilities easier than the traditional libcap library.  It includes
+utilities that can analyse all currently running applications and print out
+any capabilities and whether or not it has an open ended bounding set.  The
+included utilities are designed to let admins and developers spot apps from
+various ways that may be running with too much privilege.")
