IPSEC-LISTPUBKEYS(8)

💖 IPSEC-LISTPUBKEYS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ipsec-listpubkeys page from the ipsec family of manual pages, section 8 (that's the sysadmin/daemon girlies, iykyk). pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ipsec-listpubkeys — literally just lists all the public keys sitting in pluto's internal database. that's her whole job. she's an icon, she's simple, she delivers. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ipsec listpubkeys does exactly what it says on the tin, no cap: it lists all the public keys that live in pluto's internal database. that's it. that's the vibe. no flags to overthink, no drama, just keys getting shown to you. ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --ctlsocket /run/pluto/pluto.ctl — tells her which control socket to talk to. the default is literally /run/pluto/pluto.ctl, so if your pluto is chillin' at the usual address you can just not mention it at all. 🎀
