     the operation, otherwise 0 will be returned to indicate success.

GARBAGE COLLECTION

==================



Dead keys (for which the type has been removed) will be automatically unlinked

from those keyrings that point to them and deleted as soon as possible by a

background garbage collector.



Similarly, revoked and expired keys will be garbage collected, but only after a

certain amount of time has passed.  This time is set as a number of seconds in:
