KEYCTL(3)              Linux Key Management Calls              KEYCTL(3)

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:

              #include <keyutils.h>

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

              -lkeyutils
