Linux capabilities empower the holder to perform a set of specificprivileged operations while withholding the full power of root access; seethecapabilities man page for a list of current capabilities and what theycontrol. There have been no capabilities added to the kernel since CAP_AUDIT_READwas merged for 3.16 in 2014.
