NAME

6       keyctl_*() - key management function wrappers
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  keyctl()  system call is a multiplexor for a number of key manage‐
10       ment functions.  These  should  be  called  via  the  wrappers  in  the
11       libkeyutils library.
12
13       The functions can be compiled in by including the keyutils header file:
14
15              #include <keyutils.h>
16
17       and then telling the linker it should link in the library:
18
19              -lkeyutils
