KEYCTL_INVALIDATE(3) Linux Key Management Calls KEYCTL_INVALIDATE(3)
keyctl_invalidate - invalidate a key
#include <keyutils.h>
long keyctl_invalidate(key_serial_t key);
keyctl_invalidate() invalidates a key. The key is scheduled for
immediate removal from all the keyrings that point to it, after which
it will be deleted. The key will be ignored by all searches once
this function is called even if it is not yet fully dealt with.
The caller must have search permission on a key to be able to
invalidate it.
On success keyctl_invalidate() returns 0. On error, the value -1
will be returned and errno will have been set to an appropriate
error.
ENOKEY The key specified is invalid.
EKEYEXPIRED
The key specified has expired.
EKEYREVOKED
The key specified had been revoked.
EACCES The key exists, but is not searchable by the calling process.
This is a library function that can be found in libkeyutils. When
linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker.
