       ipsec addconn --help

DESCRIPTION

       ipsec addconn takes a config file (or stdin) containing the format of ipsec.conf, or the
       format of individual "conn" sections, and uses that information to load named or all
       connections defined in that configuration file into the running openswan pluto IKE daemon.
       If no configuration file is specified, the default configuration file is used. If no pluto
       socket is specified, the default socket location will be used.

       When --addall is used, all connections defined in the config file will be operated on.
       Otherwise, only the specified connection names will be affected.

       When addcon is run, connections that have the auto= option set to add, start or route will
       be loaded, routed or initiated. If a connection was loaded or initiated already, it will
       be replaced.

       When --configsetup is specified, the configuration file is parsed for the config setup
       section and printed to the terminal usable as a shell script.

       When --listroute or --liststart is specified, no connections are added or replaced, only
       shown. This command can be used to verify which connections the addcon command would act
       upon, without actually performing any action.
