Hi Michael,

Reading keyctl(2), I found the following:

(Around keyctl.2:1749)
[
       EINVAL operation  was  KEYCTL_SEARCH  and the size of the de‐
              scription in  arg4  (including  the  terminating  null
              byte)  exceeded  4096  bytes.  size of the string (in‐
              cluding the terminating null byte) specified  in  arg3
              (the  key type) or arg4 (the key description) exceeded
              the limit (32 bytes and 4096 bytes respectively).

]

It's hard to read because of [. size], but AFAICS it looks like two
completely different errors (both setting errno to EINVAL), and
therefore it should be two separate entries, shouldn't it?

Looking at commit ff91beca5bec550a7a16d9dfe2fd3f9210fbb06c,
I think you are right. I added another "[.TP\n.B EINVAL|.

Thanks,

Michael
