keyctl_chown3
Change the ownership of a key
Usage
#include <keyutils.h> long keyctl_chown(key_serial_t key, uid_t uid, gid_t gid);
Overview
keyctl_chown() changes the user and group ownership details of a key.
A setting of -1 on either uid or gid will cause that setting to be ignored.
A process that does not have the SysAdmin capability may not change a key's UID or set the key's GID to a value that does not match the process's GID or one of its group list.
The caller must have setattr permission on a key to be able to change its ownership.
Return value
On success keyctl_chown() returns 0 . On error, the value -1 will be returned and errno will have been set to an appropriate error.
