💅 IPSEC-VFYCHAIN — the manual, bestie edition 🎀

so you found ipsec-vfychain(8), a lil executable program in the Executable programs section. it's giving very niche, very useful, very "you had to be there" energy. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ipsec-vfychain — a helper that runs NSS's vfychain on the IPsec NSS database. basically a tiny little errand-runner so you don't have to type the same path over and over 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ipsec vfychain

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so ipsec vfychain is a helper 🫶. what it does is run NSS's vfychain command against Libreswan's NSS database — and the way it does that is by just... adding the option -d /var/lib/ipsec/nss to the parameter list for you. that's the whole trick. it's the friend who remembers your coffee order ☕

if you want more info, go see certutil(1). it's got the lore 📖
