@This is a library for getting and setting POSIX.1e (formerly POSIX 6)
capabilities.  It has been written to conform to the capabilities
associated with the capability-enhanced Linux kernel.

This library would not have been possible without the help of 

	Aleph1, Roland Buresund and Andrew Main.

More information on capabilities in the Linux kernel can be found at

    <URL:http://parc.power.net/morgan/Orange-Linux/linux-privs/>
