NAME¶

keyctl_*() - Key management function wrappers

DESCRIPTION¶

The keyctl() system call is a multiplexor for a number of key management functions. These should be called via the wrappers in the libkeyutils library. The functions can be compiled in by including the keyutils header file:

and then telling the linker it should link in the library:
