NMSettingConnection

typedef struct _NMSettingConnection NMSettingConnection;

The NMSettingConnection struct contains only private data. It should only be accessed through the functions described below.

The “autoconnect” property

  “autoconnect”              gboolean

Whether or not the connection should be automatically connected by NetworkManager when the resources for the connection are available. TRUE to automatically activate the connection, FALSE to require manual intervention to activate the connection.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: TRUE

The “gateway-ping-timeout” property

  “gateway-ping-timeout”     guint

If greater than zero, delay success of IP addressing until either the timeout is reached, or an IP gateway replies to a ping.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 30

Default value: 0

Since: 0.9.10

The “id” property

  “id”                       gchar *

A human readable unique identifier for the connection, like "Work Wi-Fi" or "T-Mobile 3G".

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

The “interface-name” property

  “interface-name”           gchar *

The name of the network interface this connection is bound to. If not set, then the connection can be attached to any interface of the appropriate type (subject to restrictions imposed by other settings).

For software devices this specifies the name of the created device.

For connection types where interface names cannot easily be made persistent (e.g. mobile broadband or USB Ethernet), this property should not be used. Setting this property restricts the interfaces a connection can be used with, and if interface names change or are reordered the connection may be applied to the wrong interface.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

Since: 0.9.10

The “master” property

  “master”                   gchar *

Interface name of the master device or UUID of the master connection.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

The “permissions” property

  “permissions”              GSList_gchararray_ *

An array of strings defining what access a given user has to this connection. If this is NULL or empty, all users are allowed to access this connection. Otherwise a user is allowed to access this connection if and only if they are in this list. Each entry is of the form "[type]:[id]:[reserved]"; for example, "user:dcbw:blah".

At this time only the "user" [type] is allowed. Any other values are ignored and reserved for future use. [id] is the username that this permission refers to, which may not contain the ":" character. Any [reserved] information present must be ignored and is reserved for future use. All of [type], [id], and [reserved] must be valid UTF-8.

Flags: Read / Write

The “read-only” property

  “read-only”                gboolean

FALSE if the connection can be modified using the provided settings service's D-Bus interface with the right privileges, or TRUE if the connection is read-only and cannot be modified.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: FALSE

The “secondaries” property

  “secondaries”              GSList_gchararray_ *

List of connection UUIDs that should be activated when the base connection itself is activated. Currently only VPN connections are supported.

Flags: Read / Write

Since: 0.9.8

The “slave-type” property

  “slave-type”               gchar *

Setting name of the device type of this slave's master connection (eg, NM_SETTING_BOND_SETTING_NAME), or NULL if this connection is not a slave.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

The “timestamp” property

  “timestamp”                guint64

The time, in seconds since the Unix Epoch, that the connection was last _successfully_ fully activated.

NetworkManager updates the connection timestamp periodically when the connection is active to ensure that an active connection has the latest timestamp. The property is only meant for reading (changes to this property will not be preserved).

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: 0

The “type” property

  “type”                     gchar *

Base type of the connection. For hardware-dependent connections, should contain the setting name of the hardware-type specific setting (ie, "802-3-ethernet" or "802-11-wireless" or "bluetooth", etc), and for non-hardware dependent connections like VPN or otherwise, should contain the setting name of that setting type (ie, "vpn" or "bridge", etc).

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

The “uuid” property

  “uuid”                     gchar *

A universally unique identifier for the connection, for example generated with libuuid. It should be assigned when the connection is created, and never changed as long as the connection still applies to the same network. For example, it should not be changed when the “id” property or NMSettingIP4Config changes, but might need to be re-created when the Wi-Fi SSID, mobile broadband network provider, or “type” property changes.

The UUID must be in the format "2815492f-7e56-435e-b2e9-246bd7cdc664" (ie, contains only hexadecimal characters and "-"). A suitable UUID may be generated by nm_utils_uuid_generate() or nm_utils_uuid_generate_from_string().

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

The “zone” property

  “zone”                     gchar *

The trust level of a the connection. Free form case-insensitive string (for example "Home", "Work", "Public"). NULL or unspecified zone means the connection will be placed in the default zone as defined by the firewall.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: NULL
