#### **--cap-add**=*capability*

Add Linux capabilities.

Granting additional capabilities increases the privileges of the
processes running inside the container and potentially allow it to
break out of confinement. Capabilities like `CAP_SYS_PTRACE`,
`CAP_MKNOD` and `CAP_SYS_MODULE` are particularly dangerous.

Before adding any capability, review its security implications and
ensure it is really necessary for the container’s functionality.
