- <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
- <I>Barf</I>
- outputs (on standard output) a collection of debugging information
- (contents of files, selections from logs, etc.)
- related to the IPsec encryption/authentication system.
- It is primarily a convenience for remote debugging,
- a single command which packages up (and labels) all information
- that might be relevant to diagnosing a problem in IPsec.
- <P>
- <I>Look</I>
- outputs a minimal subset of this,
- intended as a quick look at current connections and related information,
- in a somewhat less self-explanatory format optimized for terseness.
- <P>
- The
- <B>--short</B>
- option limits the length of
- the log portion of
- <I>barf</I>'s
- output, which can otherwise be extremely voluminous
- if debug logging is turned on.
- <P>
- <I>Barf</I>
- censors its output,
- replacing keys
- and secrets with brief checksums to avoid revealing sensitive information.
- <I>Look</I>
- output does not contain such information.
- <P>
- Beware that the output of both commands is aimed at humans,
- not programs,
- and the output format is subject to change without warning.

- <H2>BUGS</H2>
- <I>Barf</I>
- uses heuristics to try to pick relevant material out of the logs,
- and relevant messages
- which are not labelled with any of the tags that
- <I>barf</I>
- looks for will be lost.
- We think we've eliminated the last such case, but one never knows...
- <P>
- Finding
- <I>updown</I>
- scripts (so they can be included in output) is, in general, difficult.
- <I>Barf</I>
- uses a very simple heuristic that is easily fooled.
