NAME

       ipsec_showpolicy - dump policy of socket found as stdin

SYNOPSIS

       ipsec showpolicy

       ipsec showpolicy --udpport --sockpolicy --packetcountnum

DESCRIPTION

       showpolicy calls the ipsec_policy_lookup(3) function on the file
       description which is its stdin.

       It then dumps the resulting query in a human readable form.

       With the --udp option, it opens a UDP port, and dumps policy on each
       packet received on that port using the IP_IPSEC_RECVREF socket option.

       The --maxpacket option causes the program to exit after processing that
       many packets. This can be used in test cases.

       This is a test program. One might run it from inetd, via:

       discard stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/libexec/ipsec/showpolicy
       showpolicy

       One could also run it from the command line via:

       ipsec showpolicy --udp 9 --sockpolicy --maxpacket 2
