I assume you're referring to [0]?

/etc/wireguard is only relevant for wg-quick, if you edit files there
your changes will only take effect once you down/up your interface with
wg-quick.

So you obviously don't want to do it that way.

I'm not sure where you read that? In any case, you can control wireguard
via netlink[1], and there is also a embeddable library[2] in C
available.

There also probably exists a netlink library for $YOUR_FAVORITE_LANG.
