LIBDROP_AMBIENT(7) Libcap-ng API LIBDROP_AMBIENT(7)
NAME
libdrop_ambient - force application started with ambient
capabilities to drop them
DESCRIPTION
This library can be used via LD_PRELOAD to force an application
started with ambient capabilities to drop them. It leaves other
capabilities intact. This can also be linked against and
automatically does the right thing. You do not need to make any
calls into the library because all the work is done in the
constructor which runs before main() is called.
