Gets the result of an nm_client_save_hostname_async() call.

nm_client_get_devices ()

const GPtrArray *
nm_client_get_devices (NMClient *client);

Gets the active connections.

nm_client_get_primary_connection ()

NMActiveConnection *
nm_client_get_primary_connection (NMClient *client);

Gets the NMActiveConnection corresponding to the primary active network device.

In particular, when there is no VPN active, or the VPN does not have the default route, this returns the active connection that has the default route. If there is a VPN active with the default route, then this function returns the active connection that contains the route to the VPN endpoint.

If there is no default route, or the default route is over a non-NetworkManager-recognized device, this will return NULL.

nm_client_get_activating_connection ()

NMActiveConnection *
nm_client_get_activating_connection (NMClient *client);

Gets the NMActiveConnection corresponding to a currently-activating connection that is expected to become the new “primary-connection” upon successful activation.

                                     gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously starts a connection to a particular network using the configuration settings from connection and the network device device . Certain connection types also take a "specific object" which is the object path of a connection- specific object, like an NMAccessPoint for Wi-Fi connections, or an NMWimaxNsp for WiMAX connections, to which you wish to connect. If the specific object is not given, NetworkManager can, in some cases, automatically determine which network to connect to given the settings in connection .

If connection is not given for a device-based activation, NetworkManager picks the best available connection for the device and activates it.

Note that the callback is invoked when NetworkManager has started activating the new connection, not when it finishes. You can used the returned NMActiveConnection object (in particular, “state”) to track the activation to its completion.

nm_client_activate_connection_finish ()

NMActiveConnection *
nm_client_activate_connection_finish (NMClient *client,
                                      GAsyncResult *result,

                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data);

Adds a new connection using the given details (if any) as a template, automatically filling in missing settings with the capabilities of the given device and specific object. The new connection is then asynchronously activated as with nm_client_activate_connection_async(). Cannot be used for VPN connections at this time.

Note that the callback is invoked when NetworkManager has started activating the new connection, not when it finishes. You can used the returned NMActiveConnection object (in particular, “state”) to track the activation to its completion.

                                gpointer user_data);

Requests that the remote settings service add the given settings to a new connection. If save_to_disk is TRUE, the connection is immediately written to disk; otherwise it is initially only stored in memory, but may be saved later by calling the connection's nm_remote_connection_commit_changes() method.

connection is untouched by this function and only serves as a template of the settings to add. The NMRemoteConnection object that represents what NetworkManager actually added is returned to callback when the addition operation is complete.

Note that the NMRemoteConnection returned in callback may not contain identical settings to connection as NetworkManager may perform automatic completion and/or normalization of connection properties.

nm_client_add_connection_finish ()

                            GError **error);

Requests that the remote settings service load or reload the given files, adding or updating the connections described within.

The changes to the indicated files will not yet be reflected in client 's connections array when the function returns.

If all of the indicated files were successfully loaded, the function will return TRUE, and failures will be set to NULL. If NetworkManager tried to load the files, but some (or all) failed, then failures will be set to a NULL-terminated array of the filenames that failed to load.

nm_client_load_connections_async ()
