+        <constant>CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE</constant>,
+        <constant>CAP_SYS_PTRACE</constant>. This option may appear more than
+        once in which case the ambient capability sets are merged.
+        If the list of capabilities is prefixed with <literal>~</literal>, all
+        but the listed capabilities will be included, the effect of the
+        assignment inverted. If the empty string is
+        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, also undoing any previous settings. Note that adding
+        capabilities to ambient capability set adds them to the process's
+        inherited capability set.
