We support all of these:

nmcli -version
nmcli --version
Change the help output to display the first and last versions for
options, since they are the most common ones for command line tools.
On failure the self.fail() message often appears in the middle of the
diff between expected/actual output, making it hard to read. Since
print() output goes to stdout (which is buffered) and self.fail() to
stderr (which is not), flush stdout before printing the failure
message to ensure the two don't mix.
Otherwise readline decides to initialize terminal handling at the first
readline call, and if that happens at the point it sees our
non-echoing rl_redisplay.
At that point, unless already intialized, readline wrongly convinces itself we
do our own handling of terminal peculiarities (such as cursor movement, or
erases). We do not -- we merely wrap the stock rl_redisplay(), temporarily
hiding the actual characters.
The rl_initialize() in nmc_readline_echo()s fixes broken line editing in
password prompts that weren't preceded a previous non-password prompt.
The other one is there for consistency only. (I guess we should be
initializing readline before use anyway; although it seems to initialize
itself anyway if we fail to do so...)

This makes it possible to utilize agents in the "external UI" mode
instead of hardcoded handling of VPN secrets requests.
Ideally this would be turned into a library so that nm-applet can share
the code, but figuring out the right API might be a non-trivial
undertaking.
When a software device is removed by nmcli in parallel with a
disconnection, e.g.:
nmcli connection add type team ifname t1 con-name t1
sleep 1
nmcli connection down t1 & nmcli device delete t1
nmcli sometimes crashes in the following way:
...

Connection 't1' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/36)
Device 't1' successfully removed.

The reason is that after calling nm_device_delete_async() we also
listen for the manager device-removed signal. When the signal is
received, device_removed_cb() destroy the @info structure and calls
g_main_loop_quit (loop). However, if the delete_device_cb() callback
has already been dispatched it is executed anyway and it tries to
access a stale @info.
It makes little sense to listen for the device-removed signal since
the return value of nm_device_delete_async() already tells us whether
the device was removed successfully or not.
The only advantage would be that when the device goes away for other
reasons we can still return success, but that is racy and should not
be relied upon.

The meta data type descriptor must set .get_gtype only for
GObject properties which are of type int or uint. That is, when
the enum type cannot be automatically detected.
However, NM_SETTING_SERIAL_PARITY is a g_param_spec_enum()
of type NM_TYPE_SETTING_SERIAL_PARITY, so setting the get_gtype()
hook is wrong and leads to a crash
$ /bin/nmcli connection add type gsm autoconnect no con-name t ifname '*' apn xyz serial.parity 5

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
That is because the enum property setter does:
»···if ( has_gtype
»··· && NM_IN_SET (gtype_prop,
»··· G_TYPE_INT,
»··· G_TYPE_UINT)
»··· && G_TYPE_IS_CLASSED (gtype)
»··· && (gtype_class = g_type_class_ref (gtype))
»··· && ( (is_flags = G_IS_FLAGS_CLASS (gtype_class))
»··· || G_IS_ENUM_CLASS (gtype_class))) {
»···»···/* valid */
meaning, it only allows "has_gtype" if the native "gtype_prop" is
G_TYPE_INT or G_TYPE_UINT.

libnm currently has only one GObject property of type uint64:
"serial.send-delay". However, it's broken because uint64 handling

Globals are bad. Don't let nmc_readline_helper() access
nm_cli.
Instead, pass nmc_config along. nmc_config albeit being
a complex struct, is much more begning:
- the configuration nmc_config is initialized early on
and afterwards immutable.
- it only contains simple fields, which affect the behavior.
- it's not a global. While passing around the complex configuration
struct, it is clear that all callpaths don't access additional
global information.
Error: Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets.
Hint: use 'journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=0dd048e5-e84b-4e96-9142-61b3e73f1c69 + NM_DEVICE=eth0' to get more details.
The new hash table should destroy elements stolen from the hash table

Autocompletion doesn't work in some cases because we present a prompt
ending with ":", but compare it with the string without ":" in the
autocomplete function. Fix this.
While at it, also add missing colon after prompt where needed.
Before, we would not autocomplete connection types that have an alias:
Connection type: <TAB><TAB>
6lowpan cdma macvlan vlan
802-11-olpc-mesh dummy olpc-mesh vpn
802-11-wireless ethernet ovs-bridge vxlan
802-3-ethernet generic ovs-interface wifi
adsl gsm ovs-port wimax
bluetooth infiniband pppoe wpan
bond ip-tunnel team
bridge macsec tun
Connection type: 8<TAB> [-> no completion]
Don't treat the default connection type (for example,
"802-3-ethernet") in a special way and allow it to be autocompleted,
because we already display it when the user did not enter any text.
The array returned by the completion function follows a special
convention. If the first element is set, it is used as the
completion. Otherwise, the remaining entries are the possible
completions.
_meta_abstract_complete() just returned an array of matching words and
so the first element was always used as completion. Instead, we must
use rl_completion_matches() to generate the array passing a generator
function.

Add a new 'match' setting containing properties to match a connection
to devices. At the moment only the interface-name property is present
and, contrary to connection.interface-name, it allows the use of
wildcards.
As of upstream kernel v4.18-rc8.
Note that we name the features like they are called in ethtool's
ioctl API ETH_SS_FEATURES.
Except, for features like "tx-gro", which ethtool utility aliases
as "gro". So, for those features where ethtool has a built-in,
alternative name, we prefer the alias.
And again, note that a few aliases of ethtool utility ("sg", "tso", "tx")
actually affect more than one underlying kernel feature.
Note that 3 kernel features which are announced via ETH_SS_FEATURES are
explicitly exluded because kernel marks them as "never_changed":
#define NETIF_F_NEVER_CHANGE (NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED | \
NETIF_F_LLTX | NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL)
We will add a large number of offload features. That means, the output
of `nmcli connection show "$PROFILE"` would be very verbose, in case
the profile has a [ethtool] option.
Since this is newly added API, don't do that. Don't show ethtool properties
that are left unset.
A minor problem here is, that it becomes no longer obvious which
properties exist. We should however counter that by documentation.
Also, one could do:
$ nmcli connection modify "$PROFILE" ethtool.xxx x
Error: invalid property 'xxx': 'xxx' not among [feature-gro, feature-gso, feature-lro, feature-ntuple, feature-rx, feature-rxhash, feature-rxvlan, feature-sg, feature-tso, feature-tx, feature-txvlan, feature-tx-tcp6-segmentation, feature-tx-tcp-segmentation].
Likewise, bash completion still works as one would expect.
$ nmcli --complete-args connection modify "$PROFILE" ethtool.
ethtool.feature-gro
ethtool.feature-gso
ethtool.feature-lro
[...]
Note the output of
$ nmcli -f ethtool.feature-gro connection show "$PROFILE"
gives now nothing (if there is an ethtool section, but not this
particular feature). Maybe this shouldn't be like that. On the other
hand, specifying a connection setting that doesn't exist also gives
no output:
$ nmcli -f bond connection show "$PROFILE"
So, maybe this behavior is fine.
Historically, nmcli printed all fields during operations like
`nmcli connection show "$PROFILE"`. As we supported more and
more options, this resulted in a verbose output, of most properties
just being the default values.
To counter that, we added the '-overview' option. When given,
it would hide options that are set at their default. This option
was not the default, to preserve established behavior.
However, for new options, we can afford to hide them. Add a mechanism,
that property getters can mark their value to be hidden. At the moment,
there is no way to show these properties. However, we could add a
'-verbose' option, with the opposite meaning of '-overview'. Anyway,
that does not seem necessary at the moment.
Hiding properties from output is only acceptable for new properties
(otherwise we badly change behavior), and if the properties are set
at their default values (otherwise, we hide important information).
Also, add two more features "tx-tcp-segmentation" and
"tx-tcp6-segmentation". There are two reasons for that:
- systemd-networkd supports setting these two features,
so lets support them too (apparently they are important
enough for networkd).
- these two features are already implicitly covered by "tso".
Like for the "ethtool" program, "tso" is an alias for several
actual features. By adding two features that are already
also covered by an alias (which sets multiple kernel names
at once), we showcase how aliases for the same feature can
coexist. In particular, note how setting
"tso on tx-tcp6-segmentation off" will behave as one would
expect: all 4 tso features covered by the alias are enabled,
except that particular one.
