keyctl: List keys in a specific keyring.
$ keyctl list ${target_keyring}
try on your machine

The command "keyctl list ${target_keyring}" is used to list all the keys in a specific keyring. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "keyctl": It is a command-line utility in Linux used to manage and interact with the kernel keyring facility.

  • "list": It is a subcommand of keyctl that enables the user to list the keys present in a specific keyring.

  • "${target_keyring}": This is a placeholder for the name or ID of the keyring we want to list the keys from. The actual name or ID should be provided in place of "${target_keyring}".

By executing this command, the system will return a list of keys contained within the specified keyring, along with their corresponding information and properties.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
