all: unify comment style for SPDX-License-Identifier tag 
Our coding style recommends C style comments (/* */) instead of C++
(//). Also, systemd (which we partly fork) uses C style comments for
the SPDX-License-Identifier.

Unify the style.

  $ sed -i '1 s#// SPDX-License-Identifier: \([^ ]\+\)$#/* SPDX-License-Identifier: \1 */#' -- $(git ls-files -- '*.[hc]' '*.[hc]pp')

README.md

nm-libnm-core-aux is a static library that:

  • uses parts of "libnm-core", that are public API of "libnm"
  • can be statically linked into users of libnm-core (like libnm and NetworkManager).
  • that can also be statically linked into other users of libnm.

Basically, it is a static library with utility functions that extends libnm-core (the part that is public API of libnm), but can also be used without full libnm.

That means:

  • you can use it everywhere where you either statically link with libnm-core, or dynamically link with libnm.
  • you cannot use it inside libnm-core itself. This is the difference between nm-libnm-core-intern and nm-libnm-core-aux.

Also, since nm-libnm-core-aux itself only uses public (stable) API of libnm, you theoretically can copy the sources into your own source tree.
