Description

Exposes Linux keyutils functionality to Python, allowing software to work with the kernel key retention service. It can help programs store and retrieve keys used by authentication, filesystems, or system services.

This interacts with sensitive key material at the system level. Developers should understand Linux keyrings and permissions before using it with real credentials.
