Previously, there was "temporary-not-available" mechanism in NML3Cfg,
which aimed to handle IPv6 routes with prefsrc. Theoretically, that
mechanism may have been extended to other use-cases, like IPv4 routes
with prefsrc. What it attempted to handle, is the inability to configure
such routes, unless the respective prefsrc address is configured and
non-tentative. However, the address that we are waiting for, could also
be on another interface, so that mechanism wasn't applicable. This is
now replaced by _routes_watch_ip_addrs(). It seems there isn't anything
useful left for the "temporary-not-available" mechanism and it can go,
except...
We want to log a warning when we are unable to configure a route. Also,
in the future we might want to know when the IP configuration is
degradated due to inability to configure the desired routes (a condition
that we might want to expose to the user, not only via logging; or we
may want to react on that).
However, with prefsrc routes we don't know right away whether the
inability to configure the route right away indicates an actual problem,
or whether that will resolve itself (e.g. after the address passes
DAD/ACD, after we received an DHCP lease or after the address was
configured on another interface). Consequently, to know whether the
current inability to configure such a route is a problem, we need to
know the larger context. nm_platform_ip_route_sync() does not have that
context.
Instead, nm_platform_ip_route_sync() needs only do debug log about
failure to configure routes. It will now also return all the failed
routes to NML3Cfg, which can decide whether that is a problem.
This reworks the previous "temporary-not-available" mechanism to track
the state of the failed routes, to eventually decide whether there is an
actual problem (and log about it).
Another problem this solves is that since commit ('platform: always
reconfigure IP routes even if removed externally'), we will eagerly
re-try to configure the same route over and over. We cannot just spam
the log with warnings about the same failure on every commit. We need to
remember that we already logged about the problem and rate limit
warnings otherwise. This is what the new mechanism also achieves.
Indeed, all this is mostly for the sole benefit of logging better
warnings (and not duplicated).

Most of the subdirectories are static helper libraries, which get linked into one of the final build artifacts (like libnm, nmcli or NetworkManager). Static libraries are internal API.
The only public API is libnm, which is a shared library provided client implementations.
Our own clients (like nmcli and nmtui) also use libnm, the shared library. But they also use additional static helper libraries.
The daemon statically links against a part of libnm, the part that provides connection profiles. That is libnm-core. libnm-core is thus statically linked with libnm and the daemon. It does not get linked by clients that already link with libnm (like nmtui).
