Synopsis:
nmcli connection clone [--temporary] [id|uuid|path] <ID> <new name>
It copies the <ID> connection as <new name>. The command is very useful
if there is a connection, but another one is needed for a related
configuration. One can copy the existing profile and modify it for the
new situation.
For example:
$ nmcli con clone main-eth second-eth
$ nmcli con modify second-eth connection.interface-name em4

$ nmcli dev wifi connect 00:22:6B:EB:1D:CA hidden yes
Warning: '00:22:6B:EB:1D:CA' should be SSID for hidden APs; but it looks like a BSSID.
Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: 802-11-wireless.ssid: connection does not match access point
The list of LLDP neighbors is available through the D-Bus interface
and libnm already provides functions to retrieve it; make the list
available through nmcli as well. Sample output:
$ nmcli device lldp

It is useful to show nmcli-generated hotspot password (if a user does not
provide his own password). Without the option the user would have to look into
the generated profile in order to find out the password.
Example:
before:
$ nmcli c add type gsm con-nameX aaa ifname fsd
Error: 'ifname' argument is required.
now:
$ nmcli c add type gsm con-nameX aaa ifname fsd
Error: mandatory 'ifname' not seen before 'con-nameX'.
Add a new 'ignore' option to NMSettingWired.wake-on-lan which disables
management of wake-on-lan by NetworkManager (i.e. the pre-existing
option will not be touched). Also, change the default behavior to be
'ignore' instead of 'disabled'.

When a VLAN connection was added with command:
nmcli c add type vlan ifname v10 id 10 dev 00:11:22:33:44:55
nmcli tried to assign a byte-array value to the ethernet.mac-address
string property, resulting in a invalid connection which failed to
verify. Fix this and set the value as plain string.
For libnm library, "nm-dbus-interface.h" contains defines like the D-Bus
paths of NetworkManager. It is desirable to have this header usable without
having a dependency on "glib.h", for example for a QT application. For that,
commit c0852964a8 removed that dependancy.
For libnm-glib library, the analog to "nm-dbus-interface.h" is
"NetworkManager.h", and the same applies there. Commit
159e827a72 removed that include.
However, that broke build on PackageKit [1] which expected to get the
version macros by including "NetworkManager.h". So at least for libnm-glib,
we need to preserve old behavior so that a user including
"NetworkManager.h" gets the version macros, but not "glib.h".
Extract the version macros to a new header file "nm-version-macros.h".
This header doesn't include "glib.h" and can be included from
"NetworkManager.h". This gives as previous behavior and a glib-free
include.
For libnm we still don't include "nm-version-macros.h" to "nm-dbus-interface.h".
Very few users will actually need the version macros, but not using
libnm.
Users that use libnm, should just include (libnm's) "NetworkManager.h" to
get all headers.
As a special case, a user who doesn't want to use glib/libnm, but still
needs both "nm-dbus-interface.h" and "nm-version-macros.h", can include
them both separately.

Fixes: 4545a7fe96
NetworkManager only allows one 'client:user-id' to register as secret
agent. Thus, when starting nmtui in two terminals, creating the secret
agent can fail.
This can lead to a crash.

- accept a numeric value (decimal or hex (0x prefix))
- display a numeric value of the property in addition to the strings
- add/accept spaces between string names
to behave similar to other flags' properties.
Aliases "disable" and "disabled" are accepted too.
nmcli> set 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan none
It was possible to remove flags by setting a string containing just white
spaces, but it was user unfriendly and non-intuitive.

'ssid' can repeat when more SSIDs should be scanned, e.g.
$ nmcli dev wifi rescan ssid "hidden cafe" ssid AP12 ssid "my home Wi-Fi"
Bash completion fixed by thaller@redhat.com
The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
The only way to disable logging for a domain entirely is to
omit the domain from the "domains" list. For example:
"level=INFO, domains=PLATFORM,..."
Now add an explicit level "OFF" to facilitate configuration like:
"level=INFO, domains=ALL,WIFI_SCAN:OFF"
It also supports
"level=OFF, domains=PLATFORM:INFO"
but this is for the most part equivalent to
"level=INFO, domains=PLATFORM"
vpn-helper.c is currently not yet used. It was added for future
VPN support for nmtui. Refactor it to make use of the new vpn
helper functions in libnm.
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Some of the properties changed from GParamSpecUInt to GParamSpecFlags, namely
NM_SETTING_VLAN_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_APP_FCOE_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_APP_ISCSI_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_APP_FIP_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_PRIORITY_FLOW_CONTROL_FLAGS
NM_SETTING_DCB_PRIORITY_GROUP_FLAGS
