.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.SH NAME
keyctl_*() \- key management function wrappers
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR keyctl ()
system call is a multiplexor for a number of key management functions.  These
should be called via the wrappers in the libkeyutils library.
.P
The functions can be compiled in by including the \fBkeyutils\fR header file:
.sp
.RS
.nf
.B #include <keyutils.h>
.RE
.P
and then telling the linker it should link in the library:
.sp
.RS
.nf
.B \-lkeyutils
