#### **--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_ADMIN`,
`CAP_SYS_PTRACE`, `CAP_MKNOD` and `CAP_SYS_MODULE` are particularly
dangerous when they are not used within a user namespace. Please
refer to **user_namespaces(7)** for a more detailed explanation of the
interaction between user namespaces and capabilities.
Before adding any capability, review its security implications and
ensure it is really necessary for the container’s functionality. See
**capabilities(7)** for more information.
