In the absence of the -v (verify) option setcap sets the capabilities of each specified filename to the
capabilities specified. The optional -n<rootuid> argument can be used to set the file capability for
use only in a user namespace with this root user ID owner. The -v option is used to verify that the
specified capabilities are currently associated with the file. If -v and -n are supplied, the -n<rootuid> argument is also verified.
The capabilities are specified in the form described in cap_from_text(3).
The special capability string, '-', can be used to indicate that capabilities are read from the standard
input. In such cases, the capability set is terminated with a blank line.
The special capability string, '-r', is used to remove a capability set from a file. Note, setting an
empty capability set is notthesame as removing it. An empty set can be used to guarantee a file is not
executed with privilege in spite of the fact that the prevailing ambient+inheritable sets would otherwise
bestow capabilities on executed binaries.
The '-f', is used to force completion even when it is in some way considered an invalid operation. This
can affect '-r' and setting file capabilities the kernel will not be able to make sense of.
The -q flag is used to make the program less verbose in its output.
