# @BLURB: function to set POSIX file-based capabilities
# @DESCRIPTION:
# This eclass provides a function to set file-based capabilities on binaries.
+# This is not the same as USE=caps which controls runtime capability changes,
+# often via packages like libcap.
#
# Due to probable capability-loss on moving or copying, this happens in
# pkg_postinst-phase (at least for now).
