Hi,

xchpst(8) says:

[...]

     --caps-bs-keep capability[,capability...]
                 Keeps only the listed capabilities in the bounding set.

     --caps-bs-drop capability[,capability...]
                 Drops the listed capabilities from the bounding set.  Use only 
one of the two options governing the bounding set.

     --caps-keep capability[,capability...]
                 Retain the listed capabilities when dropping to a non-root 
user.

     --caps-drop capability[,capability...]
                 Drop the listed capabilities when dropping to a non-root user, 
but retain all others.

While xhcpst --help says:

xchpst-0.8.5-1 (c) Copyright 2024,2025 Andrew Bower <[email protected]>

[...]
      --cap-bs-keep CAP[,...] restrict capabilities bounding set
      --cap-bs-drop CAP[,...] drop from capabilities bounding set
      --caps-keep CAP[,...]   keep (only) these capabilities
      --caps-drop CAP[,...]   drop these capabilities
[...]

(Note --cap-bs-* vs. --caps-bs-*.)

What the program actually accepts matches the output of --help, not the manpage.

Please fix the manpage rather than modifying the program to match it, to avoid 
breaking existing scripts.

Thanks!

AndrĂ¡s
