keyctl_watch_key - Watch for changes to a key


Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <keyutils.h>

long keyctl_watch_key(key_serial_t key, int watch_queue_fd int watch_id);


Описание (Description)

keyctl_watch_key() sets or removes a watch on key.

watch_id specifies the ID for a watch that will be included in notification messages. It can be between 0 and 255 to add a key; it should be -1 to remove a key.

watch_queue_fd is a file descriptor attached to a watch_queue device instance. Multiple openings of a device provide separate instances. Each device instance can only have one watch on any particular key.

Notification Record Key-specific notification messages that the kernel emits into the buffer have the following format:

struct key_notification { struct watch_notification watch; __u32 key_id; __u32 aux; };

The watch.type field will be set to WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY and the watch.subtype field will contain one of the following constants, indicating the event that occurred and the watch_id passed to keyctl_watch_key() will be placed in watch.info in the ID field. The following events are defined:

NOTIFY_KEY_INSTANTIATED This indicates that a watched key got instantiated or negatively instantiated. key_id indicates the key that was instantiated and aux is unused.

NOTIFY_KEY_UPDATED This indicates that a watched key got updated or instantiated by update. key_id indicates the key that was updated and aux is unused.

NOTIFY_KEY_LINKED This indicates that a key got linked into a watched keyring. key_id indicates the keyring that was modified aux indicates the key that was added.

NOTIFY_KEY_UNLINKED This indicates that a key got unlinked from a watched keyring. key_id indicates the keyring that was modified aux indicates the key that was removed.

NOTIFY_KEY_CLEARED This indicates that a watched keyring got cleared. key_id indicates the keyring that was cleared and aux is unused.

NOTIFY_KEY_REVOKED This indicates that a watched key got revoked. key_id indicates the key that was revoked and aux is unused.

NOTIFY_KEY_INVALIDATED This indicates that a watched key got invalidated. key_id indicates the key that was invalidated and aux is unused.

NOTIFY_KEY_SETATTR This indicates that a watched key had its attributes (owner, group, permissions, timeout) modified. key_id indicates the key that was modified and aux is unused.

Removal Notification When a watched key is garbage collected, all of its watches are automatically destroyed and a notification is delivered to each watcher. This will normally be an extended notification of the form:

struct watch_notification_removal { struct watch_notification watch; __u64 id; };

The watch.type field will be set to WATCH_TYPE_META and the watch.subtype field will contain WATCH_META_REMOVAL_NOTIFICATION. If the extended notification is given, then the length will be 2 units, otherwise it will be 1 and only the header will be present.

The watch_id passed to keyctl_watch_key() will be placed in watch.info in the ID field.

If the extension is present, id will be set to the ID of the destroyed key.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success keyctl_watch_key() returns 0 . On error, the value -1 will be returned and errno will have been set to an appropriate error.


Ошибки (Error)

ENOKEY The specified key does not exist.

EKEYEXPIRED The specified key has expired.

EKEYREVOKED The specified key has been revoked.

EACCES The named key exists, but does not grant view permission to the calling process.

EBUSY The specified key already has a watch on it for that device instance (add only).

EBADSLT The specified key doesn't have a watch on it (removal only).


Ссылки (Linking)

This is a library function that can be found in libkeyutils. When linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker.
