From 2aa349f6e37ce030060c994d3aebbff4ab703565 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 15:02:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Keys: Export user-defined keyring operations Export user-defined key operations so that those who wish to define their own key type based on the user-defined key operations may do so (as has been requested). The header file created has been placed into include/keys/user-type.h, thus creating a directory where other key types may also be placed. Any objections to doing this?
