+The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with posix
+capabilities much easier than the traditional libcap library. It includes
+utilities that can analyse all currently running applications and print
+out any capabilities and whether or not it has an open ended bounding set.
+
+The included utilities are designed to let admins and developers spot apps
+from various ways that may be running with too much privilege.
+
+As of the 0.6 release, you can use libcap-ng in python.
