Library for Capabilities (linux-privs) Support
Capabilities are a measure to limit the omnipotence of the superuser.
Currently a program started by root or setuid root has the power to do
anything. Capabilities (Linux-Privs) provide a more fine-grained access
control. Without kernel patches, you can use this library to drop
capabilities within setuid binaries. If you use patches, this can be
done automatically by the kernel.

- update to 2.68:
* Force libcap internal functions to be hidden outside the library
* Expanded the list of man page (links) to all of the supported API
functions.
* fixed some formatting issues with the libpsx(3) manpage.
* Add support for a markdown preamble and postscript when generating
.md versions of the man pages (Bug 217007)
* psx package clean up
* fix some copy-paste errors with TestShared()
* added a more complete psx testing into this test as well
* cap package clean up
* drop an unnecessary use of ", _" in the sources
* cleaned up cap.NamedCount documentation
* Converted goapps/web/README to .md format and fixed the
instructions to indicate go mod tidy is needed.
* cap_compare test binary now cleans up after itself (Bug 217018)
* Figured out how to cross compile Go programs for arm (i.e. RPi) that
use C code, don't use cgo but do use the psx package
* Eliminate use of vendor directory

This library is problematic on current openSUSE TW, it doesn't install and when I try to build from rpm source:
