In most cases, we don't want the translated string (only marked
for translation, and then programatically the caller deciedes
whether to translate or not).
The few places that always call gettext() can do it explicitly.
Now, that our functions are all "no_l10n" by default, rename them.
The state handling in add_and_activate_cb() and connect_device_cb() is
redundant to connected_state_cb() and in fact executed only if the
activation is really really really quick (which it never is).
Also, the return_text those implementations provide is different from
what connected_state_cb(), potentially confusing the users and adding
extra work for translators.
Not to mention extra lines of code, reading whose wastes our precious
time on the planet we could spend doing heroin instead.
Try to locate an existing connection before creating a new one when
handling "nmcli device wifi connect". This allows WPA-Enterprise
networks to be activated this way, consistent with the comment that this
command is equivalent to clicking on an SSID in a GUI client.
When nm_device_disconnect_async() returns, the device could be still
in DEACTIVATING state, and so we also register to device-state signal
notifications to know when the device state goes to DISCONNECTED.
Sometimes it happens that the device state goes to DISCONNECTED before
nm_device_disconnect_async() returns. In this case the signal handler
exits the main loop and then the callback for disconnect_async() is
executed anyway because it was already dispatched, leading to an
invalid memory access.
To avoid this we should cancel nm_device_disconnect_async() when we
are quitting the main loop.
Reproducer:
nmcli connection add type team ifname t1 con-name t1
nmcli connection up t1
nmcli device disconnect t1 & nmcli device delete t1

Correct the spelling across the *entire* tree, including translations,
comments, etc. It's easier that way.
Even the places where it's not exposed to the user, such as tests, so
that we learn how is it spelled correctly.
In general we want to keep the connections that the user is most likely
to want to see topmost. Default connections should be close to the top,
but the connections that are likely to have been brought up manually
shall be above them. It applies to VPN connections and should apply to
Hotspots too.
In editor_menu_main(), after saving a connection we wait that the
Update2() D-Bus call returns and then we copy the NMRemoteConnection
instance over to @connection.
This assumes that when Update2() returns the remote connection
instance is already updated with new settings. Indeed, on server side
the NMSettingsConnection first emits the "Updated" signal and then
returns to Update2(). However, the Updated signal doesn't include the
new setting values and so libnm has to fire an asynchronous
nmdbus_settings_connection_call_get_setting() to fetch the new
settings, which terminates after the Update2().
So, to be sure that the remote connection got updated we have also to
listen to the connection-changed signal, which is always emitted after
an update.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1546805
Connection secrets are lost after calling
nm_connection_replace_settings_from_connection() because @con_tmp
doesn't contain secrets; refetch them like we do when starting the
editor.
We support all of these:
nmcli -v
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.
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...)

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' (e4701688-d1a9-4942-85f0-a2081e120023) successfully added.
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.

If the activation fails even before the active connection instance is
created, we get the following:
$ nmcli connection up vpn1
libnm-CRITICAL **: nm_active_connection_get_connection: assertion 'NM_IS_ACTIVE_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
nmcli-CRITICAL **: active_connection_hint: assertion 'connection' failed
Error: Connection activation failed: Not authorized to control networking.
Check that we have an active connection before showing the hint.

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.
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.
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.
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).
Note that in NetworkManager API (D-Bus, libnm, and nmcli),
the features are called "feature-xyz". The "feature-" prefix
is used, because NMSettingEthtool possibly will gain support
for options that are not only -K|--offload|--features, for
example -C|--coalesce.
The "xzy" suffix is either how ethtool utility calls the feature
("tso", "rx"). Or, if ethtool utility specifies no alias for that
feature, it's the name from kernel's ETH_SS_FEATURES ("tx-tcp6-segmentation").
If possible, we prefer ethtool utility's naming.
Also note, how the features "feature-sg", "feature-tso", and
"feature-tx" actually refer to multiple underlying kernel features
at once. This too follows what ethtool utility does.
The functionality is not yet implemented server-side.
Not all properties that we want to handle in nmcli are actual GObject
properties. For the moment that was the case, but that's about to change.
This is a change in behavior with respect of the order in which
properties are reported. For example, print_setting_description()
now prints the property descriptions in a different order. However,
one might argue that this order makes more sense because:
- it's the same order as properties are listed in
"nm-meta-setting-desc.c". At that place, we have explict
control over the order and set it intentionally to suite
our needs best. The order of the GObject properties is
much less well defined.
- the order from "nm-meta-setting-desc.c" is used at several other
places. So, it makes sense to use the same order everywhere.
The virtual function NMMetaType.get_nested() has only one caller:
nm_meta_abstract_info_get_nested(). That caller makes sure to
always pass in an @out_to_free argument, and that it is initialized
to NULL.
The local variable was just a copy of the (unchanging)
configuration nmc_config->multiline_output.
It is complicated enough to understand how nmc_config->print_output
and nmc_config->multiline_output affects nmc_print(). Don't use an
alias when referencing to nmc_config->multiline_output because it
hides where the value is used and where it causes a difference.
