+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+<I>Ipsec</I>
+
+invokes any of several utilities involved in controlling the IPsec
+encryption/authentication system,
+running the specified
+<I>command</I>
+
+with the specified
+<I>argument</I>s
+
+as if it had been invoked directly.
+This largely eliminates possible name collisions with other software,
+and also permits some centralized services.
+<P>
+
+In particular,
+<I>ipsec</I>
+
+supplies the invoked
+<I>command</I>
+
+with a suitable PATH environment variable,
+and also provides IPSEC_DIR,
+IPSEC_CONFS, and IPSEC_VERSION environment variables,
+containing respectively
+the full pathname of the directory where the IPsec utilities are stored,
+the full pathname of the directory where the configuration files live,
+and the IPsec version number.
+<P>
+
+<B>ipsec --help</B>
+
+lists the available commands.
+Most have their own manual pages, e.g.
+<I><A HREF="ipsec_auto.8.html">ipsec_auto</A></I>(8)
+
+for
+<I>auto</I>.
+
+<P>
+
+<B>ipsec --version</B>
+
+outputs version information about Linux FreeS/WAN.
+A version code of the form ``U<I>xxx</I>/K<I>yyy</I>''
+indicates that the user-level utilities are version <I>xxx</I>
+but the kernel portion appears to be version <I>yyy</I>
+(this form is used only if the two disagree).
+<P>
+
+<B>ipsec --versioncode</B>
+
+outputs <I>just</I> the version code,
+with none of
+<B>--version</B>'s
+
+supporting information,
+for use by scripts.
+<P>
+
+<B>ipsec --copyright</B>
+
+supplies boring copyright details.
+<P>
+
+<B>ipsec --directory</B>
+
+reports where
+<I>ipsec</I>
+
+thinks the IPsec utilities are stored.
+<P>
+
+<B>ipsec --confdir</B>
+
+reports where
+<I>ipsec</I>
+
+thinks the IPsec configuration files are stored.

+
+The following environment variables control where FreeS/WAN finds its
+components.
+The

+
+command sets them if they are not already set.

+IPSEC_EXECDIR directory containing published commands
+IPSEC_LIBDIR directory containing internal executables
+IPSEC_SBINDIR directory containing <B>ipsec</B> command

+<H2>BUGS</H2>
+
+The provision of centralized services,
+while convenient,
+does compromise the original concept of making the utilities
+invocable directly as well as via
+<I>ipsec</I>.
