+ * Move a key from one keyring to another::
+
+ long keyctl(KEYCTL_MOVE,
+ key_serial_t id,
+ key_serial_t from_ring_id,
+ key_serial_t to_ring_id,
+ unsigned int flags);
+
+ Move the key specified by "id" from the keyring specified by
+ "from_ring_id" to the keyring specified by "to_ring_id". If the two
+ keyrings are the same, nothing is done.
+
+ "flags" can have KEYCTL_MOVE_EXCL set in it to cause the operation to fail
+ with EEXIST if a matching key exists in the destination keyring, otherwise
+ such a key will be replaced.
+
+ A process must have link permission on the key for this function to be
+ successful and write permission on both keyrings. Any errors that can
+ occur from KEYCTL_LINK also apply on the destination keyring here.

* Unlink a key or keyring from another keyring::
long keyctl(KEYCTL_UNLINK, key_serial_t keyring, key_serial_t key);
