save_to_disk

whether to persist the changes to disk

 

cancellable

error

location for a GError, or NULL

 

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE on error, in which case error will be set.

                                  GError **error);

Request the connection's secrets. Note that this is a blocking D-Bus call, not a simple property accessor.

Parameters

connection

the NMRemoteConnection

 

setting_name

the NMSetting object name to get secrets for

 

cancellable

a GCancellable, or NULL

 

error

location for a GError, or NULL

 

Returns

a GVariant of type NM_VARIANT_TYPE_CONNECTION containing connection 's secrets, or NULL on error.

Warning: NMClient contains a cache of objects on D-Bus. This cache gets updated with D-Bus signals when iterating the GMainContext. This function performs a (pseudo) blocking D-Bus call. Aside blocking, the result will not be in sync and not be ordered with the content of the NMClient cache. This function used to be deprecated between 1.22 and 1.38 releases.

nm_remote_connection_get_unsaved ()

gboolean
nm_remote_connection_get_unsaved (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

Parameters

connection

the NMRemoteConnection

 

Returns

TRUE if the remote connection contains changes that have not been saved to disk, FALSE if the connection is the same as its on-disk representation.


nm_remote_connection_get_flags ()

NMSettingsConnectionFlags
nm_remote_connection_get_flags (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

Parameters

connection

the NMRemoteConnection

 

Returns

the flags of the connection of type NMSettingsConnectionFlags.

Since: 1.12


nm_remote_connection_get_filename ()

const char *
nm_remote_connection_get_filename (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

Parameters

connection

the NMRemoteConnection

 

Returns

file that stores the connection in case the connection is file-backed.

Since: 1.12


nm_remote_connection_get_visible ()

gboolean
nm_remote_connection_get_visible (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

Checks if the connection is visible to the current user. If the connection is not visible then it is essentially useless; it will not contain any settings, and operations such as nm_remote_connection_save() and nm_remote_connection_delete() will always fail. (NMRemoteSettings will not normally return non-visible connections to callers, but it is possible for a connection's visibility to change after you already have a reference to it.)

Parameters

connection

the NMRemoteConnection

 

Returns

TRUE if the remote connection is visible to the current user, FALSE if not.


nm_remote_connection_get_version_id ()

guint64
nm_remote_connection_get_version_id (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

Parameters

connection

the NMRemoteConnection

 

Returns

the version-id of the profile. This ID is incremented whenever the profile is modified.

Since: 1.44
