<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.
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>

<A NAME="lbAF"> </A>
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2>
<P>
The following environment variables control where FreeS/WAN finds its
components.
The
<B>ipsec</B>
command sets them if they are not already set.
<PRE>
IPSEC_EXECDIR directory containing published commands
IPSEC_LIBDIR directory containing internal executables
IPSEC_SBINDIR directory containing <B>ipsec</B> command
IPSEC_CONFS directory containing configuration files

<A NAME="lbAI"> </A>
<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>.
