<abstract>
<para>
This manual is the reference documentation for NetworkManager, the standard
Linux network management service. It is intended for system administrators and
integrators who need to understand the capabilities of NetworkManager, its
configuration options, command line tools and the D-Bus API for programmatic
control of the service.
</para>
<para>
The end users NetworkManager should instead refer to respective documentation
of their desktop environment of choice.
</para>
<para>
The application developers who prefer not to use the D-Bus API directly can use the
<ulink url="https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/">libnm</ulink> library
shipped with NetworkManager or its bindings to a higher level language such as
Python, Ruby or Vala via GObject introspection.

<title>Network Configuration Setting Specification</title>
<para>
This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
the "Connection". Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
setting names (like "802-3-ethernet" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
key/value pairs that represents each itself.

documentation is not available.)

<chapter id="secrets-flags">
<title>Secret flag types</title>
<para>
Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property
that describes how to handle that secret. The "flags" property is a
bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
OR-ed together.
</para>
<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<literal>0x0 (none)</literal> - the system is responsible for providing
and storing this secret.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>0x1 (agent-owned)</literal> - a user-session secret agent
is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is
required, agents will be asked to provide it.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>0x2 (not-saved)</literal> - this secret should not be saved
but should be requested from the user each time it is required. This
flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN codes from
hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the
secret.
</listitem>
<listitem>
<literal>0x4 (not-required)</literal> - in some situations it cannot
be automatically determined that a secret is required or not. This
flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be
requested from the user.
