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 and then telling the linker it should link in the library: -lkeyutils KEYCTL FUNCTIONS keyctl_assume_authority(3) keyctl_chown(3) keyctl_capabilities(3) keyctl_clear(3) keyctl_describe(3) keyctl_describe_alloc(3) keyctl_dh_compute(3) keyctl_dh_compute_alloc(3) keyctl_get_keyring_ID(3) keyctl_get_persistent(3) keyctl_get_security(3) keyctl_get_security_alloc(3) keyctl_instantiate(3) keyctl_instantiate_iov(3) keyctl_invalidate(3) keyctl_join_session_keyring(3) keyctl_link(3) keyctl_move(3) keyctl_negate(3) keyctl_pkey_decrypt(3) keyctl_pkey_encrypt(3) keyctl_pkey_query(3) keyctl_pkey_sign(3) keyctl_pkey_verify(3) keyctl_read(3) keyctl_read_alloc(3) keyctl_reject(3) keyctl_restrict_keyring(3) keyctl_revoke(3) keyctl_search(3) keyctl_session_to_parent(3) keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring(3) keyctl_set_timeout(3) keyctl_setperm(3) keyctl_unlink(3) keyctl_update(3) keyctl_watch_key(3) UTILITY FUNCTIONS find_key_by_type_and_name(3) recursive_key_scan(3) recursive_session_key_scan(3) SEE ALSO keyctl(1), add_key(2), keyctl(2), request_key(2), keyrings(7), keyutils(7) Linux 21 Feb 2014 KEYCTL(3)
