- List keys in a specific keyring:
`keyctl list {{target_keyring}}`
- List current keys in the user default session:
`keyctl list {{@us}}`
- Store a key in a specific keyring:
`keyctl add {{type_keyring}} {{key_name}} {{key_value}} {{target_keyring}}`
- Store a key with its value from `stdin`:
`echo -n {{key_value}} | keyctl padd {{type_keyring}} {{key_name}} {{target_keyring}}`
- Put a timeout on a key:
`keyctl timeout {{key_name}} {{timeout_in_seconds}}`
- Read a key and format it as a hex-dump if not printable:
`keyctl read {{key_name}}`

`keyctl pipe {{key_name}}`

`keyctl revoke {{key_name}}`
