Raffaele, typing "wg help" should answer many of your questions:
--
# wg help
Usage: wg <cmd> [<args>]
Available subcommands:
show: Shows the current configuration and device information
showconf: Shows the current configuration of a given WireGuard interface, for use with `setconf'
set: Change the current configuration, add peers, remove peers, or change peers
setconf: Applies a configuration file to a WireGuard interface
addconf: Appends a configuration file to a WireGuard interface
genkey: Generates a new private key and writes it to stdout
genpsk: Generates a new preshared key and writes it to stdout
pubkey: Reads a private key from stdin and writes a public key to stdout
You may pass `--help' to any of these subcommands to view usage.

# wg set --help
Usage: wg set <interface> [listen-port <port>] [fwmark <mark>] [private-key <file path>] [peer <base64 public key> [remove] [preshared-key <file path>] [endpoint <ip>:<port>] [persistent-keepalive <interval seconds>] [allowed-ips <ip1>/<cidr1>[,<ip2>/<cidr2>]...] ]...
