They basically contain operations previously available via 'nmcli nm'.
'nmcli nm' is still kept for backward compatibility.
Usage:
nmcli switch [all|networking|wifi|wwan|wimax [on/off]]
nmcli general [status|permissions]
Examples:
nmcli switch all - show all switches
nmcli switch wifi off - switch Wi-Fi off
nmcli g s - show NM status
nmcli g p - show NM permissions
nmcli gets NM version and compares it with its own and complains
when they differ. This is to indicate that the results are not reliable,
because the API could differ. '--nocheck' switches the checks off.
DISCONNECTING: the only active network connection is now being disconnected
LOCAL, SITE, GLOBAL: one-stop items for level of connectivity, which
we'll use to show when we think we're actually connected to the internet
or behind a captive portal or something
When getting status of NetworkManager via 'nmcli nm ...' and NetworkManager
is not running, do not call its D-Bus methods. It prevents NM to be implicitly
executed when configured as D-Bus activated service.
'enable' command queries and sets NetworkingEnabled property. It should be used
by users. Previous 'sleep' command that actually did enable/disable,
really calls Sleep() now and is not meant for common usage.
Modifications are mainly for multiline mode to ease parsing - each
field name is prefixed with a section name.
'dev list' now also supports printing particular sections specifed via
'--fields' option.
