If the buffer is shorter than the +data, a short copy will be made; if the buffer is larger than the data, the +excess space will be cleared. +.P +If this operation is not available in the kernel, the keyutils library will be +emulate it as best it can and the capability bit that indicates if the kernel +operation is available will be cleared. +.P +In +.IR buffer[0] , +the following capabilities exist: +.TP +.B KEYCTL_CAPS0_CAPABILITIES +This is set if the kernel supports this operation and cleared otherwise.
