-.TH "THREAD KEYRING" 7 "20 Feb 2014" Linux "Kernel key management"
-.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-.SH NAME
-thread_keyring \- Per-thread keyring
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B thread keyring
-is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process. It is only created
-when a thread requests it.
-.P
-A special serial number value, \fBKEY_SPEC_THREAD_KEYRING\fP, is defined that
-can be used in lieu of the calling thread's thread keyring's actual serial
-number.
-.P
-From the keyctl utility, '\fB@t\fP' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in
-much the same way, but as keyctl is a program run after forking, this is of no
-utility.
-.P
-Thread keyrings are not inherited across clone() and are cleared by execve().
-A thread keyring is destroyed when the thread that refers to it exits.
-.P
-If a thread doesn't have a thread keyring when it is accessed, then the thread
-keyring will be created if the keyring is to be modified, otherwise error
-ENOKEY will be issued.
