NAME
       ipsec__stackmanager - internal script to bring up kernel components for
       Libreswan

SYNOPSIS
       ipsec _stackmanager start

       ipsec _stackmanager stop

DESCRIPTION
       ipsec _stackmanager is called from within the init sub-system (systemd,
       upstart, sysv initscripts) to bring up the Libreswan kernel component
       as configured via the protostack= option in the ipsec.confi
       configuration file.

       This involves loading and optionally unloading of the required kernel
       modules. Because the Linux kernel cannot autodetect most crypto related
       drivers on-demand, _stackmanager handles loading the hardware random
       number (RNG) device drivers, OpenBSD/FreeBSD Cryptographic Framework
       (OCF) drivers, CryptoAPI drivers, and the modules for the specific
       stack (Linux NETKEY/XFM or KLIPS/MAST). Probing for OCF supported
       hardware is not supported - those modules must be loaded by the system
       before the start of the Libreswan sub system.

HISTORY
       This script was introduced in Libreswan. On the older Openswan systems,
       this functionality was split over various script files such as ipsec
       _startnetkey, ipsec _startklips, ipsec _realsetup and ipsec setup. Man
