The available options vary depending on the key type, and typically contain a restriction name possibly followed by key ids or other data relevant to the restriction. If the type and restriction are both .B NULL, the keyring will reject all links. .P .\""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" .SH RETURN VALUE On success .BR keyctl_restrict_keyring () returns .BR 0 . On error, the value .B -1 will be returned and .I errno will have been set to an appropriate error. .\""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" .SH ERRORS .TP .B EDEADLK A restriction cycle was avoided. Two keyrings cannot restrict each other. .TP .B EEXIST The keyring is already restricted. .TP .B EINVAL The restriction string is invalid or too large. .TP .B ENOKEY The key type in the restriction is invalid or not available. .TP .B ENOTDIR The provided key id references an item that is not a keyring. .TP .B ENOENT The key type exists but does not support restrictions. .\""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" .SH LINKING This is a library function that can be found in .IR libkeyutils . When linking, .B \-lkeyutils should be specified to the linker. .\""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" .SH SEE ALSO .ad l .nh .BR keyctl (1), .BR keyctl (2), .BR keyctl (3), .BR keyutils (7)
