Hey guys, Currently wg(8) talks to the kernel by passing structs through an ioctl. Due to upstream demands, this is going to be changed to netlink, and we'll ditch those structs. wg(8) previously tried to re-use those same structs for userspace implementations, passing them through a unix socket. Implementors did not like dealing with this. Since the structs are going for the kernel stuff, we might as well move to something better, too, for the userspace stuff. Therefore wg(8) now has a very simple text-based IPC format over unix sockets (or Windows named pipes) that can be easily implemented in nearly every language, even bash.
I've written a small description of it here: https://www.wireguard.io/xplatform/ This will be part of the next snapshot. Any questions? Regards, Jason _______________________________________________ WireGuard mailing list [email protected] https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard
