THREAD-KEYRING(7)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                   THREAD-KEYRING(7)

NAME
       thread-keyring - per-thread keyring

DESCRIPTION
       The thread keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process.  It is created
       only when a thread requests it.  The thread keyring has the name (description) _tid.

       A special serial number value, KEY_SPEC_THREAD_KEYRING, is defined that  can  be  used  in
       lieu of the actual serial number of the calling thread's thread keyring.

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

       Thread keyrings are not inherited across clone(2) and  fork(2)  and  are  cleared  by  ex-
       ecve(2).  A thread keyring is destroyed when the thread that refers to it terminates.

       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;  otherwise
       the operation fails with the error ENOKEY.
