NAME

       keyctl_chown - change the ownership of a key

SYNOPSIS

       #include <keyutils.h>

       long keyctl_chown(key_serial_t key, uid_t uid, gid_t gid);

DESCRIPTION

       keyctl_chown() changes the user and group ownership details of a key.

       A setting of -1 on either uid or gid will cause that setting to be ignored.

       A process that does not have the SysAdmin capability may not change a key's UID or set the
       key's GID to a value that does not match the process's GID or one of its group list.

       The caller must have setattr permission on a key to be able change its ownership.

RETURN VALUE

       On success keyctl_chown() returns 0 .  On error, the value -1 will be returned  and  errno
       will have been set to an appropriate error.
