strongSwan Developer Documentation¶
Getting the Source Code¶
The easiest way to get the source code is checking it out from our Git repository:
git clone http://git.strongswan.org/strongswan.git
Source Code Documentation¶
The newer parts of strongSwan use extractable inline documentation extensively. This documentation is extracted with doxygen three times a day and uploaded to the /apidoc folder.
Code style¶
For new code (charon, libstrongswan, ...) we heavily use an object oriented programming style for C.
