This affects the order in which properties are listed in `nmcli
connection show`. The replace-local-rule property should be after the
routing-rule property.
This setting allows the user to remove the local route rule that is
autogenerated for both IPv4 and IPv6. By default, NetworkManager won't
touch the local route rule.
The configure flag and APN for the initial EPS bearer are used when
bringing up cellular modem connections. These settings are only relevant
for LTE modems.

$ nmcli --offline connection add type wifi con-name hotspot ssid hotspot-ssid wifi.mode ap wifi-sec.key-mgmt none wifi-sec.wep-key-type 1 wifi-sec.wep-key0 1234567890
would previously always print a message
Info: WEP key is guessed to be of '1 (key)'
At least, when we explicitly set the key-type, this message is bogus.
Suppress it.
It's anyway questionable whether printing such warnings does anything good.
We would still get the warning with the arguments swapped, which seems wrong:
$ nmcli --offline connection add type wifi con-name hotspot ssid hotspot-ssid wifi.mode ap wifi-sec.key-mgmt none wifi-sec.wep-key0 1234567890 wifi-sec.wep-key-type 1

Introduce a "vlan.protocol" property that specifies the protocol of a
VLAN, which controls the tag (EtherType) used for encapsulation.
Regular VLANs use 802.1Q (tag 0x8100). To implement VLAN stacking it's
sometimes useful to have 802.1ad VLANs with tag 0x88A8.
The property is a string instead of e.g. an enum because this allows
maximum flexibility in the future. For example, it becomes possible to
specify an arbitrary number in case if the kernel ever allows it.
openvswitch accepts "dot1q-tunnel" as vlan mode:
A dot1q-tunnel port is somewhat like an access port. Like an
access port, it carries packets on the single VLAN specified
in the tag column and this VLAN, called the service VLAN,
does not appear in an 802.1Q header for packets that ingress
or egress on the port. The main difference lies in the be‐
havior when packets that include a 802.1Q header ingress on
the port. Whereas an access port drops such packets, a
dot1q-tunnel port treats these as double-tagged with the
outer service VLAN tag and the inner customer VLAN taken
from the 802.1Q header. Correspondingly, to egress on the
port, a packet outer VLAN (or only VLAN) must be tag, which
is removed before egress, which exposes the inner (customer)
VLAN if one is present.
Support this mode.
Add a new "ovs-port.trunks" property that indicates which VLANs are
trunked by the port.
At ovsdb level the property is just an array of integers; on the
command line, ovs-vsctl accepts ranges and expands them.
In NetworkManager the ovs-port setting stores the trunks directly as a
list of ranges.
Support managing the loopback interface through NM as the users want to
set the proper mtu for loopback interface when forwarding the packets.
Additionally, the IP addresses, DNS, route and routing rules are also
allowed to configure for the loopback connection profiles.

It just feels nicer to be explicit about the filenames and
not rely on a specific naming.
Also, in meson we can directly pass the target as argument, which
expands to the filename but also adds a dependency.
Unfortunately, for this we require SetLinkDNSEx() API from v246.
That adds extra complexity.
If the configuration contains no server name, we continue using
SetLinkDNS(). Otherwise, at first we try using SetLinkDNSEx().
We will notice if that method is unsupported, reconfigure with
SetLinkDNS(), and set a flag to not try that again.
Now, nm_setting_ip_config_add_dns() no longer asserts that
the name is a valid DNS nameserver. Instead, that is handled
by nm_connection_verify().
Also, the DNS property is going to be extended to support
specifying the SNI server name for DNS over TLS. The validation
would need to be extended.
Instead, drop the validation from nmcli. nmcli often needs to understand
what is happening. But in this case, it doesn't need to know (or
validate) the exact text. Don't duplicate the validation and let
libnm (or the daemon) reject invalid settings.
The file "nm-meta-setting-base-impl.c" is shared by "libnm-core-impl" and
"libnmc-setting". For "libnm-core-impl" it uses a efficient lookup from the
gtype. For "libnmc-setting", that class information is not available, so
it did a linear search. Instead, do a binary search.

Note that for "libnm-core-impl" the implementation was already fast (5), and
it didn't change. It only changed to binary search for "libnmc-setting",
which arguably is a less strong use-case.
The file "nm-meta-setting-base-impl.c" is present twice in our source
tree and compiled twice. Once with internal headers of libnm-core and
once with only public headers.
Consequently, there are two implementations for
nm_meta_setting_infos_by_gtype(), one that can benefit from internal
access to the data structure, and the one for libnmc, which cannot.
Refactor the implementations, in the hope to have it clearer.
Our docs can be long. It's important to be able to express paragraphs.
Honor a blank line to include a newline. For XML often whitespace is
ignored, but our tools can choose to honor the newline.
Also, don't strip the whitespace from the beginning and the end.
We keep whitespace for a certain indentation level, but additional
whitespace gets preserved. This is less important, because regular
spaces is indeed irrelevant. But when we write the annotations, we
should be in full control over spaces.
Have "len" before "elem_size". That is consistent with g_qsort_with_data()
and bsearch(), and is also what I would expect.
Note that the previous commit just renamed the function. If a user
of the new, changed API gets backported to an older branch, we will
get a compilation error and note that the arguments need to be adjusted.
The "nm_utils_" prefix is just too verbose. Drop it.
Also, Posix has a bsearch function. As this function
is similar, rename it.
Note that currently the arguments are provided in differnt
order from bsearch(). That will be partly addressed next.
That is the main reason for the rename. The next commit
will swap the arguments, so do a rename first to get a compilation
error when backporting a patch that uses the changed API.
These variants provide additional nm_assert() checks, and are thus
preferable.
Note that we cannot just blindly replace &g_array_index() with
&nm_g_array_index(), because the latter would not allow getting a
pointer at index [arr->len]. That might be a valid (though uncommon)
usecase. The correct replacement of &g_array_index() is thus
nm_g_array_index_p().
I checked the code manually and replaced uses of nm_g_array_index_p()
with &nm_g_array_index(), if that was a safe thing to do. The latter
seems preferable, because it is familar to &g_array_index().
Add deprecation tags to "subject-match" and "phase2-subject-match"
properties and adjust the documentation slightly.
They've been deprecated since commit 64b76ba906 ('libnm-core: add
domain-suffix-match properties to NMSetting8021x').
Previously, the deprecation data was included in <description*>, in form
of an integer. E.g.:
/**
* NMSettingLala:hello:
*
* Does this and that.
*
* Deprecated: 1.12: Be sad instead.
**/
Results in:
<property name="hello">
<description>Does this and that. Deprecated: 1</description>
</property>
Let's make it do this instead:
<property name="hello">
<description>Does this and that.</description>
<deprecated since="1.12">Be sad instead.</description>
</property>
Add option to set ofport_request when configuring ovs interface. When
connection with ofport_request configured is activated ovsdb will first
try to activated on the port set by ofport_request.
Because, why not?
The client side determines the UUID, so there is no security implication
by letting the nmcli user explicitly choose it.
$ nmcli connection add type ethernet con-name x connection.uuid 6965f79c-4424-4918-98e8-3c0982434011
Connection 'x' (6965f79c-4424-4918-98e8-3c0982434011) successfully added.
$ nmcli connection add type ethernet con-name x connection.uuid 6965f79c-4424-4918-98e8-3c0982434011
Error: Failed to add 'x' connection: a connection with this UUID already exists

Error: failed to modify connection.uuid: the property can't be changed.
It is useful to modify the UUID in offline mode. Otherwise, it's
cumbersome to clone a profile, because the cloned profile will
have the same UUID (and NetworkManager cannot load them both
at the same time).
umask 077
nmcli --offline connection modify \
connection.id profile2 \
connection.uuid new \

> /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/profile2.nmconnection \
The doctext doesn't actually work for `man nm-settings-nmcli`. The
generation of our docs is still an incomprehensible mess that needs
fixing.
We really should not pass bogus values "1, 0" to g_set_error().
As we don't care about a particular error code, use
NM_UTILS_ERROR_UNKNOWN.
While at it, use nm_utils_error_set() everywhere.
1) The "enabled-on-global-iface" flag was odd. Instead, have only
and "enabled" flag and skip (by default) endpoints on interface
that have no default route. With the new flag "also-without-default-route",
this can be overruled. So previous "enabled-on-global-default" now is
the same as "enabled", and "enabled" from before behaves now like
"enabled,also-without-default-route".
2) What was also odd, as that the fallback default value for the flags
depends on "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled". There was not one fixed
fallback default, instead the used fallback value was either
"enabled-on-global-iface,subflow" or "disabled".
Usually that is not a problem (e.g. the default value for
"ipv6.ip6-privacy" also depends on use_tempaddr sysctl). In this case
it is a problem, because the mptcp-flags (for better or worse) encode
different things at the same time.
Consider that the mptcp-flags can also have their default configured in
"NetworkManager.conf", a user who wants to switch the address flags
could previously do:
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled-on-global-iface,signal,subflow
but then the global toggle "/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled" was no longer
honored. That means, MPTCP handling was always on, even if the sysctl was
disabled. Now, "enabled" means that it's only enabled if the sysctl
is enabled too. Now the user could write to "NetworkManager.conf"
[connection.mptcp]
connection.mptcp-flags=0x32 # enabled,signal,subflow
and MPTCP handling would still be disabled unless the sysctl
is enabled.
There is now also a new flag "also-without-sysctl", so if you want
to really enable MPTCP handling regardless of the sysctl, you can.
The point of that might be, that we still can configure endpoints,
even if kernel won't do anything with them. Then you could just flip
the sysctl, and it would start working (as NetworkManager configured
the endpoints already).
Fixes: eb083eece5 ('all: add NMMptcpFlags and connection.mptcp-flags property')
- name things related to `in_addr_t`, `struct in6_addr`, `NMIPAddr` as
`nm_ip4_addr_*()`, `nm_ip6_addr_*()`, `nm_ip_addr_*()`, respectively.
- we have a wrapper `nm_inet_ntop()` for `inet_ntop()`. This name
of our wrapper is chosen to be familiar with the libc underlying
function. With this, also name functions that are about string
representations of addresses `nm_inet_*()`, `nm_inet4_*()`,
`nm_inet6_*()`. For example, `nm_inet_parse_str()`,
`nm_inet_is_normalized()`.

For enum type properties, we support to specify a list of
aliases.
- the getter uses a separate list from the setter. The idea
is that some of these aliases are only for showing, but not
for setting. Add a special marker GOBJECT_ENUM_VALUE_INFOS_GET_FROM_SETTER
which indicates that the value information from the setter
should also be used by the getter.
- extend _values_fcn_gobject_enum() to also return the nicks from
the setter for bash completion. After all, they can be set too.
Improve documentation by preserving paragraphs in the
nm-settings-nmcli man pages.
To do that structure of src/libnm-client-impl/nm-settings-docs-gir.xml
was changed to have "description" as subnode to property node instead
of attribute of property node. Another subnode "description-docbook"
was added - this node is then used when generating man pages.
tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-gir.py and man/nm-settings-dbus.xsl
were also changed to accomodate for changes mentioned above.

It can be useful to choose a different "ipv6.addr-gen-mode". And it can be
useful to override the default for a set of profiles.
For example, in cloud or in a data center, stable-privacy might not be
the best choice. Add a mechanism to override the default via global defaults
in NetworkManager.conf:
# /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-ipv6-addr-gen-mode-override.conf
[connection-90-ipv6-addr-gen-mode-override]
match-device=type:ethernet
ipv6.addr-gen-mode=0
"ipv6.addr-gen-mode" is a special property, because its default depends on
the component that configures the profile.
- when read from disk (keyfile and ifcfg-rh), a missing addr-gen-mode
key means to default to "eui64".
- when configured via D-Bus, a missing addr-gen-mode property means to
default to "stable-privacy".
- libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode property defaults to
"stable-privacy".
- when some tool creates a profile, they either can explicitly
set the mode, or they get the default of the underlying mechanisms
above.
- nm-initrd-generator explicitly sets "eui64" for profiles it creates.
- nmcli doesn' explicitly set it, but inherits the default form
libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode.
- when NM creates a auto-default-connection for ethernet ("Wired connection 1"),
it inherits the default from libnm's ip6-config::addr-gen-mode.
Global connection defaults only take effect when the per-profile
value is set to a special default/unset value. To account for the
different cases above, we add two such special values: "default" and
"default-or-eui64". That's something we didn't do before, but it seams
useful and easy to understand.
Also, this neatly expresses the current behaviors we already have. E.g.
if you don't specify the "addr-gen-mode" in a keyfile, "default-or-eui64"
is a pretty clear thing.
Note that usually we cannot change default values, in particular not for
libnm's properties. That is because we don't serialize the default
values to D-Bus/keyfile, so if we change the default, we change
behavior. Here we change from "stable-privacy" to "default" and
from "eui64" to "default-or-eui64". That means, the user only experiences
a change in behavior, if they have a ".conf" file that overrides the default.

For new connections, this ensures the value in square brackets on
interactive add are always correct.
Apart from that, this allows us to initialize some non-default values
before asking (such as making up an interface name for some software
devices), and inform the user about what we picked:
Interface name [nm-bridge]:
