KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT(3)				    Linux Key Management Calls				       KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT(3)

NAME
keyctl_session_to_parent - Set the parent process's session keyring SYNOPSIS
#include <keyutils.h> long keyctl_session_to_parent(); DESCRIPTION
keyctl_session_to_parent() changes the session keyring to which the calling process's parent subscribes to be the that of the calling process. The keyring must have link permission available to the calling process, the parent process must have the same UIDs/GIDs as the calling process, and the LSM must not reject the replacement. Furthermore, this may not be used to affect init or a kernel thread. Note that the replacement will not take immediate effect upon the parent process, but will rather be deferred to the next time it returns to userspace from kernel space. RETURN VALUE
On success keyctl_session_to_parent() returns 0. On error, the value -1 will be returned and errno will have been set to an appropriate error. ERRORS
ENOMEM Insufficient memory to create a key. EPERM The credentials of the parent don't match those of the caller. EACCES The named keyring exists, but is not linkable by the calling process. LINKING
This is a library function that can be found in libkeyutils. When linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker. SEE ALSO

KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING(3)				    Linux Key Management Calls				    KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING(3)

NAME
keyctl_join_session_keyring - Join a different session keyring SYNOPSIS
#include <keyutils.h> key_serial_t keyctl_join_session_keyring(const char *name); DESCRIPTION
keyctl_join_session_keyring() changes the session keyring to which a process is subscribed. If name is NULL then a new anonymous keyring will be created, and the process will be subscribed to that. If name points to a string, then if a keyring of that name is available, the process will attempt to subscribe to that keyring, giving an error if that is not permitted; otherwise a new keyring of that name is created and attached as the session keyring. To attach to an extant named keyring, the keyring must have search permission available to the calling process. RETURN VALUE
On success keyctl_join_session_keyring() returns the serial number of the key it found or created. On error, the value -1 will be returned and errno will have been set to an appropriate error. ERRORS
ENOMEM Insufficient memory to create a key. EDQUOT The key quota for this user would be exceeded by creating this key or linking it to the keyring. EACCES The named keyring exists, but is not searchable by the calling process. LINKING
This is a library function that can be found in libkeyutils. When linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker. SEE ALSO
