Each time a program is executed, we must be able to give him a
capabilities set. This capabilities set include the LIDS capabilities,
and an inheritance mask to know which capabilities must be transmitted to the children
of this process. This set will depend upon the program itself, upon the user
executing the program and upon the capabilities and mask of its parent.
This amounts to giving each equivalence class
executable or directory we choosed in section to
represent a partition of the executables set a list of uid and capabilities/mask.
