Previously, IPv4 shared method will automatically enable the IPv4 global forwarding, all the per-interface level IPv4 forwarding settings may be changed to match the global setting. Also, all the per-inteface level forwarding settings can not be restored when deactivating the shared connection. This is problematic as it may disrupt custom configurations and lead to inconsistent forwarding behavior across different network interfaces. To address this, the implementation now ensures that the original per-interface forwarding settings are preserved. Upon activating a shared connection, instead of enabling IPv4 global forwarding automatically, the per-interface forwarding is enabled on all other connections unless a connection explicitly has the forwarding set to "no" in its configuration. Upon deactivating all shared connection, per-interface forwarding settings are restored to sysctl's default value. Furthermore, deactivating any connection explicitly sets the forwarding to sysctl's default value ensuring that network forwarding behavior remains consistent. |

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).
