Key construction and initialization methods. To use them\-: 
\begin{DoxyCode}
\textcolor{preprocessor}{#include <kdb.h>}
\end{DoxyCode}


Key properties are\-:
\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item \hyperlink{group__keyname}{Key name }
\item \hyperlink{group__keyvalue}{Key value }
\item \hyperlink{group__keymeta}{Key meta data }, including but not limited to\-:
\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item \hyperlink{group__keyvalue_gafb89735689929ff717cc9f2d0d0b46a2}{Key comment }
\item \hyperlink{group__keyname_ga35922a017bee8b4bcb493bbdfad9d6f5}{Key owner }
\item \hyperlink{group__keymeta}{U\-I\-D, G\-I\-D and filesystem-\/like mode permissions }
\item \hyperlink{group__keymeta}{Mode, change and modification times }
\end{DoxyItemize}
\end{DoxyItemize}

Described here the methods to allocate and free the key.
