NAME

       keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring - Set the implicit destination keyring

SYNOPSIS

       #include <keyutils.h>

       long keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring(int reqkey_defl);

DESCRIPTION

       keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring()  sets  the default destination for implicit
       key requests for the current thread and returns the old setting.

       After this operation has been issued, keys  acquired  by  implicit  key
       requests,  such  as  might  be  performed  by  open()  on an AFS or NFS
       filesystem, will be linked by default to the specified keyring by  this
       function.

       The valid values of reqkey_defl are:

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_NO_CHANGE
              This makes no change to the current setting.

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING
              This  makes the thread-specific keyring the default destination.

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_PROCESS_KEYRING
              This makes the process-specific keyring the default destination.

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_SESSION_KEYRING
              This makes the session keyring the default destination.

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_USER_KEYRING
              This makes the UID-specific keyring the default destination.

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_USER_SESSION_KEYRING
              This   makes   the  UID-specific  session  keyring  the  default
              destination.

       KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_DEFAULT
              This selects the default behaviour which is to use  the  thread-
              specific keyring if there is one, otherwise the process-specific
              keyring if there is one, otherwise the session keyring if  there
              is one, otherwise the UID-specific session keyring.

       This setting is inherited across fork() and exec().

RETURN VALUE

       On  success keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() returns 0.  On error, the value
       -1 will be returned and errno will have  been  set  to  an  appropriate
       error.

ERRORS

       EINVAL The value of reqkey_defl is invalid.

LINKING

       This  is  a  library  function  that can be found in libkeyutils.  When
       linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker.
