commit 6228eabd72eda576403bf6f199881a6d39c1148e Author: David Goulet dgoulet@ev0ke.net Date: Fri Feb 24 10:47:33 2017 -0500
Ignore stderr for getcap command
On a filesystem not supporting capabilities, an error is thrown out on stderr which is undesirable and confusing for the user.
This commit throws stderr to /dev/null. The point of this getcap is to actually see if any capabilities are enabled or none. In the context of an error, there are none.
Fixes #21088
