IPSEC_PF_KEY(8)			[FIXME: manual]		       IPSEC_PF_KEY(8)

NAME
       ipsec_pf_key - shows pfkey messages emitted by the kernel when using
       the KLIPS or MAST stack.

SYNOPSIS
       pf_key --ah --esp --ipip --ipcomp --daemon filehmac-md5-96 |
	      hmac-sha1-96

STACK
       Note that pf_key is only supported on the KLIPS and MAST stacks. It is
       not supported on any other stack.

DESCRIPTION
       pf_key is a program to open a PF_KEY socket and print all messages that
       are received from it. With no options, it will register itself to
       receive key requests for AH, ESP, IPIP and IPCOMP security
       associations. If given more specific options, then it will listen only
       to those protocols which are listed.

       If the messages are recognized, the messages will be decoded.

       If the option --daemon is provided, then after doing the registrations,
       the program will fork into the background. The provided file will be
       opened and the process ID of the background process will be written to
       it. This option is present to present race conditions in regression
       testing.

FILES
       /proc/net/pf_key
