nm-libnm-core-aux is a static library that:
- uses parts of "libnm-core", that are public API of "libnm"
- can be statically linked into users of libnm-core (like libnm
and NetworkManager).
- that can also be statically linked into other users of libnm.
Basically, it is a static library with utility functions that extends
libnm-core (the part that is public API of libnm), but can also be
used without full libnm.
That means:
- you can use it everywhere where you either statically link
with libnm-core, or dynamically link with libnm.
- you cannot use it inside libnm-core itself. This is the difference
between nm-libnm-core-intern and nm-libnm-core-aux.
Also, since nm-libnm-core-aux itself only uses public (stable)
API of libnm, you theoretically can copy the sources into your
own source tree.
