        The Nix store cannot contain setuid/setgid programs directly.
        For this reason, NixOS can automatically generate wrapper
        programs that have the necessary privileges.  This option
        lists the names of programs in the system environment for
        which setuid root wrappers should be created.

        This option allows the ownership and permissions on the setuid
        wrappers for specific programs to be overridden from the
        default (setuid root, but not setgid root).

        Additionally, this option can set capabilities on a wrapper
        program that propagates those capabilities down to the
        wrapped, real program.

        The <literal>program</literal> attribute is the name of the
        program to be wrapped. If no <literal>source</literal>
        attribute is provided, specifying the absolute path to the
        program, then the program will be searched for in the path
        environment variable.

        NOTE: cap_setpcap, which is required for the wrapper program
        to be able to raise caps into the Ambient set is NOT raised to
        the Ambient set so that the real program cannot modify its own
        capabilities!! This may be too restrictive for cases in which
        the real program needs cap_setpcap but it at least leans on
        the side security paranoid vs. too relaxed.
