List keys in a specific keyring:

keyctl list {target_keyring}

List current keys in the user default session:

Store a key in a specific keyring:

keyctl add {type_keyring} {key_name} {key_value} {target_keyring}

Store a key with its value from standard input:

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}

Read a key and format as-is:

keyctl pipe {key_name}
