The wg file contains the port number that zwgc is listening on. I.e. for each
invocation of zwgc, it grabs a port and listens, and if you run zctl, this is
how it determines what it should be talking to.
When you run a new zwgc, you "lose" the ability to use zctl to talk to the old
one, if you overwrote the old file. You can use the WGFILE environment
variable to set different wg files, but you'll need some way to change back and
forth when you want to control different zwgcs.
Hope this helps.
