Vici::Transport(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so this is Vici::Transport(3) — it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's literally just this: Vici::Transport is a Perl extension for communicating via a strongSwan VICI socket. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Vici::Transport;

that's the entire synopsis, no notes, she's low maintenance 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea 🍓 — the Vici::Transport module is needed by the Vici::Packet module. like, Vici::Packet cannot do its little thing without her. what's the thing? sending and receiving packets over the UNIX socket, which is how you talk to the open source strongSwan IPsec daemon (https://www.strongswan.com) through the documented Versatile IKE Configuration Interface, aka VICI. 🎀

and what does VICI let you do, you ask? VICI allows the configuration, management and monitoring of multiple IPsec connections. multiple!! she's a multitasker, she's giving main character energy, no cap. 🔥

🫶 EXPORT 🫶

None by default. 😌

not a single thing gets exported unless you ask for it. she's mysterious like that. respect. ✨
