💅 ipsec-fipsstatus — the manual, but make it make sense

✨ NAME ✨

ipsec-fipsstatus — shows the IPsec daemon (pluto) FIPS status. that's it. that's the whole job. she's not doing side quests, she's just telling you whether pluto is in her FIPS era 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

look at that. one command, one optional flag. lowkey the most chill synopsis in the whole suite 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Fipsstatus shows IPsec daemon (pluto) FIPS status.

fr fr that's what the original says and I'm not about to invent lore. You run it, it tells you pluto's FIPS status. Main character energy, zero small talk 💅
