[Swan] Driving Pluto from a Go program

[Stephen Kitt]

Hi,

We’re working on “porting” Submariner
(<https://github.com/submariner-io/submariner>) from StrongSwan to
LibreSwan. There’s a Go library for StrongSwan, which uses its VICI
protocol, but as far as I can tell there’s nothing equivalent for
LibreSwan.

We can drive Pluto using whack and the command-line tools, but does
that seem like a sensible first step? Are there any gotchas we should
be aware of?

(Our requirements are quite basic: set up connections using shared
PSKs, list existing connections, drop connections.)

Are you aware of anyone else potentially working on Pluto bindings for
another ecosystem (Golang, Python, Rust, ...)?

Regards,
