SWANCTL(8)			   strongSwan			      SWANCTL(8)

NAME
     swanctl - strongSwan configuration, control and monitoring command line in-
     terface.

SYNOPSIS
     swanctl command [option ...]
     swanctl -h | --help

DESCRIPTION
     swanctl  is a cross-platform command line utility to configure, control and
     monitor the strongSwan IKE daemon.  It  is  a  replacement  for  the  aging
     starter, ipsec and stroke tools.

     swanctl  uses a configuration file called swanctl.conf(5) to parse configu-
     rations and credentials. Private keys, certificates and other  PKI  related
     credentials are read from specific directories.

     To  communicate  with  the  IKE daemon, swanctl uses the VICI protocol, the
     Versatile IKE Configuration Interface. This stable interface is  usable  by
     other  tools and is often preferable than scripting swanctl and parsing its
     output.
