+ assigned to this option, the ambient capability set is reset to
+ the empty capability set, and all prior settings have no effect.
+ If set to <literal>~</literal> (without any further argument), the
+ ambient capability set is reset to the full set of available

+ capabilities to ambient capability set adds them to the process's
