IPSEC_TRAP_SENDCOUNT(5)

📦 version 3.32, in ubuntu jammy

💅 IPSEC_TRAP_SENDCOUNT — the manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is ipsec_trap_sendcount from section 5 of the manual, and it's all about a KLIPS statistic — specifically the number of successful ACQUIREs. yes, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipsec_trap_sendcount — a KLIPS statistic on the number of successful ACQUIREs

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cat /proc/net/ipsec/stats/trap_sendcount

that's it. that's the whole thing. just cat the file, no cap. 🐱

💀 OBSOLETE 💀

ngl this is the part where i have to be the bearer of bad news. 😭

trap_sendcount is only supported on the classic KLIPS stack. it is not supported on any other stack, and it's going to be completely removed in future versions. like, fully gone. main character exit.

a replacement command still needs to be designed — so there's no glow-up replacement yet, it's giving "we'll figure it out later" energy. 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

/proc/net/ipsec/stats/trap_sendcount is a read-only file. you can look, you cannot touch. 👀

inside it is the count — written in hexadecimal, bestie, so keep your converter handy — of PF_ACQUIRE messages that were successfully sent to userland. that's it. that's the tea. ✨

🎀 FILES 🎀

and that's the page!! 💖 this one came out of libreswan, dated 06/21/2021, and the original footer said IPSEC_TRAP_SENDCOUNT(5) — so if you see that header/footer combo out in the wild, you know exactly where you are. stay hydrated, read your manpages, and remember: KLIPS only, bestie. 🫶✨
