803fb7

803fb7

803fb7

803fb7
+        assigned to this option, the ambient capability set is reset to
803fb7
+        the empty capability set, and all prior settings have no effect.
803fb7
+        If set to <literal>~</literal> (without any further argument), the
803fb7
+        ambient capability set is reset to the full set of available
803fb7
+        capabilities, also undoing any previous settings. Note that adding
803fb7
+        capabilities to ambient capability set adds them to the process's
803fb7
