If _expiry is non-NULL, the expiry time (TTL) of the result will be
returned also.
+The kernel maintains an internal keyring in which it caches looked up keys.
+This can be cleared by any process that has the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability by
+the use of KEYCTL_KEYRING_CLEAR on the keyring ID.
+
===============================
READING DNS KEYS FROM USERSPACE
process must have write permission on the keyring, and it must be a
keyring (or else error ENOTDIR will result).
+ This function can also be used to clear special kernel keyrings if they
+ are appropriately marked if the user has CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. The
+ DNS resolver cache keyring is an example of this.
