RECURSIVE_KEY_SCAN(3)					      Linux Key Utility Calls					     RECURSIVE_KEY_SCAN(3)

NAME
       recursive_key_scan - Apply a function to all keys in a keyring tree
       recursive_session_key_scan - Apply a function to all keys in the session keyring tree

SYNOPSIS
       #include <keyutils.h>

       typedef int (*recursive_key_scanner_t)(key_serial_t parent,
	   key_serial_t key, char *desc, int desc_len, void *data);

       long recursive_key_scan(key_serial_t keyring,
	   recursive_key_scanner_t func, void *data);
       long recursive_session_key_scan(recursive_key_scanner_t func,
	   void *data);

DESCRIPTION
       recursive_key_scan() performs a depth-first recursive scan of the specified keyring tree and applies func to every link found in the acces-
       sible keyrings in that tree.  data is passed to each invocation of func.

       The return values of func are summed and returned as the overall return value.  Errors are ignored.  Inaccessible keyrings are not scanned,
       but links to them are still passed to func.

       recursive_session_key_scan() works exactly like recursive_key_scan() with the caller's session keyring specified as the starting keyring.

       The  callback  function	is  called for each link found in all the keyrings in the nominated tree and so may be called multiple times for a
       particular key if that key has multiple links to it.

       The callback function is passed the following parameters:

       parent The keyring containing the link or 0 for the initial key.

       key    The key to which the link points.

       desc and desc_len
	      A pointer to the raw description and its length as retrieved with keyctl_describe_alloc().  These will be NULL and  -1  respectively
	      if the description couldn't be retrieved and errno will retain the error from keyctl_describe_alloc().

       data   The data passed to the scanner function.

RETURN VALUE
       These functions return the sum of the results of the callback functions they invoke.

ERRORS
       Ignored.

LINKING
       When linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker.
