Rust interface to the Linux key-management facility. Provides a safe interface around the raw system calls allowing user-space programs to perform key manipulation.

There is a good cloudflare blog discussing why it should be used.

Basic Usage

To use linux-keyutils, first add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
linux-keyutils = "0.2"

For more information please view the full documentation. There is also a small example program in the examples directory.

Features

  • #![no_std] by default.
  • For std programs KeyError implements std::error::Error when the std feature of this crate enabled.
  • Small footprint, the library only relies on the libc and bitflags crates.
