This is an interface to the Checkpoint/Restore functionality that's
available for quite some time. It runs a command with a checkpoint taken
and rolls back unless success is confirmed before the checkpoint times
out:
$ nmcli dev checkpoint eth0 -- nmcli dev dis eth0
Device 'eth0' successfully disconnected.
Type "Yes" to commit the changes: No
Checkpoint was removed.
The details about how it's used are documented in nmcli(1) and
nmcli-examples(7).
This adds a global "--offline" option and allows its use with "add" and
"modify" commands. The "add" looks like this:
$ nmcli --offline conn add type ethernet ens3 ipv4.dns 192.168.1.1 \
>output.nmconnection
The "modify" is essentially implementing what's been suggested by
Beniamino in bugzilla ticked (referred to below):
$ nmcli --offline connection modify ens3 ipv4.dns 192.168.1.1 \
<input.nmconnection >output.nmconnection
Other commands don't support the argument at the moment:
$ nmcli --offline c up ens3
Error: 'up' command doesn't support --offline mode.

Add the only important example that this file should have
All other examples are nice. But when you install a console-only
machine and read the NM man pages, you are none the wiser, because
something as simple like this isn't covered in the man pages.
I've seen other users complain about it, and I've torn my hair out
over this several times.

This improves the HTML rendering.
But it also causes a lot of non-resolvable linkends warning when rendering a
separate manual pages into roff/mman. The messages are harmless, but still
a bit ugly.
Add new Reload D-Bus command to reload NetworkManager configuration.
For now, this is like sending SIGHUP to the process. There are several
advantages here:
- it is guarded via PolicyKit authentication while signals
can only be sent by root.
- the user can wait for the reload to be complete instead of sending
an asynchronous signal. For now, we operation completes after
nm_config_reload() returns, but later we could delay the response
further until specific parts are fully reloaded.
- SIGHUP reloads everything including re-reading configuration from
disk while SIGUSR1 reloads just certain parts such as writing out DNS
configuration anew.
Now, the Reload command has a flags argument which is more granular
in selecting parts which are to be reloaded. For example, via
signals the user can:
1) send SIGUSR1: this writes out the DNS configuration to
resolv.conf and possibly reloads other parts without
re-reading configuration and without restarting the DNS plugin.
2) send SIGHUP: this reloads configuration from disk,
writes out resolv.conf and restarts the DNS plugin.
There is no way, to only restart the DNS plugin without also reloading
everything else.
This way it's consistently used across all manual page without a need
for XSL templating.
Also, the entities file could in future possibly be used to template the
build-time configurables such as filesystem paths or bug tracker URL.
It's injected from the makefile, but not even used consistently or included in
the resulting render of manual page. Which is good, otherwise we'd have a
non-reproducible build with possible multilib conflicts if rendered around
midnight.
The synopsis tag is not appropriate and doesn't look well in HTML and
inserts unnecessary line breaks in roff.
The <userinput> in <screen> suits this perfectly on the other hand.
Bump NM version number to 1.2 and add the project name to non-XML
pages. Also, update the dates to the date of the last non-trivial
change and update their format to YYYY-MM-DD, as specified by 'man
man-pages'.
Handle connection profiles in a single 'show' command instead of 'show active'
and 'show configured'.
nmcli con show [--active] [[id|uuid|path|apath] <bla>]
nmcli con show : display all connection profiles
nmcli con show --active : only display active connection profiles
(filters out inactive profiles)
nmcli con show myeth : display details of "myeth" profile, and also active
connection info (if the profile is active)
nmcli -f profile con show myeth : only display "myeth"'s static configuration
nmcli -f active con show myeth : only display active details of "myeth"
nmcli -f connection.id,ipv4,general con show myeth
: display "connection.id"a property
"ipv4" setting and "GENERAL" group
of active data
