stroke¶

The stroke utility is a small helper tool invoked by the ipsec to control and monitor IPsec connections. It communicates with the stroke plugin loaded by the IKE daemon over a socket interface. While the utility does support some basic configuration manipulation, it is far from complete and therefore shouldn't be used for the transfer of connection information.

Since 5.2.0 a new configuration and control interface is available that can be accessed with the swanctl command.

Do not invoke ipsec stroke directly, use the ipsec wrapper instead.
