+.SH NAME
+session_keyring \- Session shared process keyring
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B session keyring
+is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process.  It is typically
+created by the \fBpam_keyinit\fP module when a user logs in and a link will be
+added that refers to the \fBuser keyring\fP.
+.P
+A special serial number value, \fBKEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING\fP, is defined that
+can be used in lieu of the calling process's session keyring's actual serial
+number.
+.P
+From the keyctl utility, '\fB@s\fP' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in
+much the same way.
+.P
+A process's session keyring is inherited across clone(), fork() and vfork() and
+is retained across execve() - even when the target executable is setuid or
+setgid.  The session keyring will be destroyed when the last process that
+refers to it exits.
+.P
+If a process doesn't have a session keyring when it is accessed, then, under
+certain circumstances, the \fBuser session keyring\fR will be attached as the
+session keyring and under others a new session keyring will be created.
+.SH SPECIAL OPERATIONS
+The keyutils library provides a number of special operations for manipulating
+session keyrings:
+.IP \fBkeyctl_join_session_keyring\fP()
+This operation allows the caller to change their session keyring.  The caller
+can join an existing keyring by name, create a new keyring of the name given or
+ask the kernel to create a new session keyring with the name "_ses".
+.IP \fBkeyctl_session_to_parent\fP()
+This operation allows the caller to set the parent process's session keyring to
+the same as their own.  For this to succeed, the parent process must have
+identical security attributes and must be single threaded.
+.P
+These operations are also exposed through the keyctl utility as:
+.P
+.RS
+\fBkeyctl\fP session
+.br
+\fBkeyctl\fP session - [<prog> <arg1> <arg2> ...]
+.br
+\fBkeyctl\fP session <name> [<prog> <arg1> <arg2> ...]

+and:
