  setcap [-q] [-v] (capabilities|-|-r) filename [ ... capabilitiesN fileN ]

  In the absence of the -v (verify) option setcap sets the capabilities of each specified filename to the capabilities specified.  The -v option is used to verify that the specified capabilities are currently associated with the file.
  
  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.
  
  The -q flag is used to make the program less verbose in its output.
