+NAME
+ nokeyrings - Spawn a new program and hide the user's keyrings from it
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ nokeyrings utility [argument] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ The nokeyrings utility runs a specified utility, but mounts
+ /var/empty over ~/.local/share/keyrings, if both directories
+ exist, (failure is ignored) for that process and its children,
+ effectively hiding the
+ user's keyrings.
+
+OPTIONS
+ No options are supported.
+
+OPERANDS
+ The following operands are supported:
+
+ utility
+ The name of the utility to be invoked.
+
+ argument
+ A string to pass as an argument for the invoked utility.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+ If utility is invoked, the exit status of nokeyrings is the exit
+ status of utility; otherwise, the nokeyrings utility exits with
+ one of the following values:
+
+ 125 An error occurred in the nokeyrings utility.
+
+ 126 The utility specified by utility was found but could
+ not be invoked.
+
+ 127 The utility sspecified by utility could not be found.
+
+RATIONALE
+ The nokeyrings utility can be used as a wrapper around programs
+ that nags the user about entering his password to access a
+ keyring, if he does it use it but the keyring is tightly
+ integrated into the OS distribution and cannot easily be removed.
