.SH DESCRIPTION

2016-11-01 18:08:09 +00:00
|
|
|
The thread keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process.
|
2016-11-01 20:58:07 +00:00
|
|
|
It is created only when a thread requests it.
|
2016-11-07 21:49:50 +00:00
|
|
|
The thread keyring has the name (description)

From the

.BR keyctl (1)
|
|
|
|
utility, '\fB@t\fP' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in
|
|
|
|
much the same way, but as
|
|
|
|
.BR keyctl (1)
|
|
|
|
is a program run after forking, this is of no utility.

Initially, a thread does not have a thread keyring.
|
|
|
|
If a thread doesn't have a thread keyring when it is accessed,
|
|
|
|
then it will be created if it is to be modified;
