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
