[strongSwan] How to use the strongswan library as API calls to strongswan so

[Andreas Steffen]

Hi,
As you might have noticed in the strongswan-4.4.0 release all IKEv2 functionality is now in the libcharon library and the charon daemon is just a rump process. Thus it should be easy to write an application yourself using the libcharon, libhydra, and libstrongswan. It is also possible to integrate the plugins monolithically into their corresponding libraries.

Concerning the APIs you have to consult the header files and the architecture information offered by the wiki.

Regards

Andreas
