<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Ipsec</I>
|
|
|
|
invokes any of several utilities involved in controlling the IPsec
|
|
encryption/authentication system,
|
|
running the specified
|
|
<I>command</I>
|
|
|
|
with the specified
|
|
<I>argument</I>s
|
|
|
|
as if it had been invoked directly.
|
|
This largely eliminates possible name collisions with other software,
|
|
and also permits some centralized services.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In particular,
|
|
<I>ipsec</I>
|
|
|
|
supplies the invoked
|
|
<I>command</I>
|
|
|
|
with a suitable PATH environment variable,
|
|
and also provides IPSEC_DIR,
|
|
IPSEC_CONFS, and IPSEC_VERSION environment variables,
|
|
containing respectively
|
|
the full pathname of the directory where the IPsec utilities are stored,
|
|
the full pathname of the directory where the configuration files live,
|
|
and the IPsec version number.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ipsec --help</B>
|
|
|
|
lists the available commands.
|
|
Most have their own manual pages, e.g.
|
|
<I><A HREF="ipsec_auto.8.html">ipsec_auto</A></I>(8)
|
|
|
|
for
|
|
<I>auto</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ipsec --version</B>
|
|
|
|
outputs version information about Linux FreeS/WAN.
|
|
A version code of the form ``U<I>xxx</I>/K<I>yyy</I>''
|
|
indicates that the user-level utilities are version <I>xxx</I>
|
|
but the kernel portion appears to be version <I>yyy</I>
|
|
(this form is used only if the two disagree).
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ipsec --versioncode</B>
|
|
|
|
outputs <I>just</I> the version code,
|
|
with none of
|
|
<B>--version</B>'s
|
|
|
|
supporting information,
|
|
for use by scripts.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ipsec --copyright</B>
|
|
|
|
supplies boring copyright details.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ipsec --directory</B>
|
|
|
|
reports where
|
|
<I>ipsec</I>
|
|
|
|
thinks the IPsec utilities are stored.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>ipsec --confdir</B>
|
|
|
|
reports where
|
|
<I>ipsec</I>
|
|
|
|
thinks the IPsec configuration files are stored.

The following environment variables control where FreeS/WAN finds its

components.

The

<B>ipsec</B>

command sets them if they are not already set.

<H2>BUGS</H2>
|
|
|
|
The provision of centralized services,
|
|
while convenient,
|
|
does compromise the original concept of making the utilities
|
|
invocable directly as well as via
|
|
<I>ipsec</I>.
