After the DUN branch merge (I think?) a number of NM_IS_MODEM
calls were left around which now always return FALSE since
NMDeviceCdma and NMDeviceGsm aren't subclasses of NMModem anymore.
But we still need generic "is this a modem subclass" checks in
a few places, so add a modem base class that both the GSM and
CDMA device classes inherit from and use that.
Plus, we want to consolidate a ton of the common code in
nm-device-gsm.c and nm-device-cdma.c into the base class in the
future anyway.
If SSID is a UTF-8 string, it is printed as it is, but enclosed in quotes.
Otherwise the bytes are converted to hex string (in uppercase).
The added quotes for UTF-8 string allow to disambiguate the two forms.
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.
If your distributor forgot to set up the client path for you, this
makes NM look in the right places and allows you to use either client
if it's installed, no matter what NM was configured with.
The output is basically tabular with fields (columns) presenting specific pieces of info.
Each line represents a single object. It's possible to switch to multiline output using
'--multiline' option. In that mode single object is presented on more lines - each field
on its line.
Terse mode now uses ':' as field separator. It also escapes all occurences of ':' and '\'
inside field values to ease parsing. The escaping behaviour can be controlled through
'--escape' option. By default, escaping is switched on in tabular mode. When using terse
mode ('--terse'), '--fields' option is mandatory for specifying required fields. That helps
for flexibility and backwards compatibility.
Not all output is converted yet.
Without these properties, the errors like these occured:
WARNING **: handle_property_changed: property 'vpn-state' changed but wasn't
defined by object type NMVPNConnection.
If the hostname was changed while NM wasn't running, and thus /etc/hosts
was out of sync with the new hostname, NM wouldn't make sure that
the new hostname was mapped in /etc/hosts. Make sure that happens
and add a bunch of testcases for /etc/hosts rewriting.
