From ed44de1f5ed0aa37140b53e831a8dc473a35d49b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2017 12:52:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ld.so.8: Simplify language around conferring capabilities The statement "conferring permitted or effective capabilities" to the process is somewhat redundant. Binaries with capabilities confer capabilities only to those process capability sets, so it's simpler to just say"confers capabilities to the process".
