IPv6 temporary addresses are configured by kernel, with the
"ipv6.ip6-privacy" setting ("use_tempaddr" sysctl) and the
IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR flag.
As such, the idea was that during reapply we would not remove them.
However, that is wrong.
The only case when we want to keep those addresses, is if during reapply
we are going to configure the same primary address (with mngtmpaddr
flag) again. Otherwise, theses addresses must always go away.
This is quite serious. This not only affects Reapply. Also during disconnect
we clear IP configuration via l3cfg.
Have an ethernet profile active with "ipv6.ip6-privacy". Unplug
the cable, the device disconnects but the temporary IPv6 address is not
cleared. As such, nm_device_generate_connection() will now generate
an external profile (with "ipv6.method=disabled" and no manual IP addresses).
The result is, that the device cannot properly autoconnect again,
once you replug the cable.
This is serious for disconnect. But I could not actually reproduce the
problem using reapply. That is, because during reapply we usually
toggle ipv6_disable sysctl, which drops all IPv6 addresses. I still
went through the effort of trying to preserve addresses that we still
want to have, because I am not sure whether there are cases where we
don't toggle ipv6_disable. Also, doing ipv6_disable during reapply is
bad anyway, and we might want to avoid that in the future.

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).
