🌸 IPSEC-FETCHCRLS(8) 🌸

okay bestie, so this is ipsec-fetchcrls, living in section 8 of the manual — the Executable programs girlies 💅 she's short, she's sweet, she's a lil signal-sender and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

ipsec-fetchcrls — Signal IPsec daemon to fetch new certificate revocation lists.

she just tells the daemon to go get the CRLs, that's the whole job 🎀

---

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

ipsec fetchcrls [--ctlsocket /run/pluto/pluto.ctl]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So fetchcrls signals the IPsec daemon (pluto) to fetch new crls — that's certificate revocation lists, bestie — from distribution URIs. That's it. That's the vibe. She's a messenger, not a main character, and she's thriving in that role. ✨
