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 manage-
       ment 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
