Functions

NMVpnEditorPluginFactory ()

NMVpnEditorPlugin *
(*NMVpnEditorPluginFactory) (GError **error);

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_factory ()

NMVpnEditorPlugin *
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_factory (GError **error);

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_editor ()

NMVpnEditor *
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_editor (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin,
                                 NMConnection *connection,
                                 GError **error);

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_capabilities ()

NMVpnEditorPluginCapability
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_capabilities (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin);

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_vt ()

gsize
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_vt (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin,
                             NMVpnEditorPluginVT *vt,
                             gsize vt_size);

Returns an opaque VT function table for the plugin to extend functionality. The actual meaning of NMVpnEditorPluginVT is not defined in public API of libnm, instead it must be agreed by both the plugin and the caller. See the header-only file 'nm-vpn-editor-plugin-call.h' which defines the meaning.

Parameters

plugin

the NMVpnEditorPlugin

 

vt

buffer to be filled with the VT table of the plugin.

[out]

vt_size

the size of the buffer. Can be 0 to only query the size of plugin's VT.

 

Returns

the actual size of the plugin 's virtual function table.

Since: 1.4

gboolean
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_export (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin,
                             const char *path,
                             NMConnection *connection,

                               (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin,
                                NMConnection *connection);

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load_from_file (const char *plugin_name,
                                     const char *check_service,
                                     int check_owner,
                                     NMUtilsCheckFilePredicate check_file,
                                     gpointer user_data,
                                     GError **error);

Load the shared library plugin_name and create a new NMVpnEditorPlugin instance via the NMVpnEditorPluginFactory function.

If plugin_name is not an absolute path name, it assumes the file is in the plugin directory of NetworkManager. In any case, the call will do certain checks on the file before passing it to dlopen. A consequence for that is, that you cannot omit the ".so" suffix as you could for nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load().

Parameters

plugin_name

The path or name of the shared library to load. The path must either be an absolute filename to an existing file. Alternatively, it can be the name (without path) of a library in the plugin directory of NetworkManager.

 

check_service

if not-null, check that the loaded plugin advertises the given service.

 

check_owner

if non-negative, check whether the file is owned by UID check_owner or by root. In this case also check that the file is not writable by anybody else.

 

check_file

optional callback to validate the file prior to loading the shared library.

[scope call]

user_data

user data for check_file

 

error

on failure the error reason.

 

Returns

a new plugin instance or NULL on error.

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load ()

NMVpnEditorPlugin *
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load (const char *plugin_name,
                           const char *check_service,
                           GError **error);

Load the shared library plugin_name and create a new NMVpnEditorPlugin instance via the NMVpnEditorPluginFactory function.

This is similar to nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load_from_file(), but it does no validation of the plugin name, instead passes it directly to dlopen(). If you have the full path to a plugin file, nm_vpn_editor_plugin_load_from_file() is preferred.

Parameters

plugin_name

The name of the shared library to load. This path will be directly passed to dlopen() without further checks.

 

check_service

if not-null, check that the loaded plugin advertises the given service.

 

error

on failure the error reason.

 

Returns

a new plugin instance or NULL on error.

nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_plugin_info ()

NMVpnPluginInfo *
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_get_plugin_info (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin);

Parameters

plugin

the NMVpnEditorPlugin instance

 

Returns

if set, return the NMVpnPluginInfo instance.

[transfer none]

Since: 1.4


nm_vpn_editor_plugin_set_plugin_info ()

void
nm_vpn_editor_plugin_set_plugin_info (NMVpnEditorPlugin *plugin,
                                      NMVpnPluginInfo *plugin_info);

Set or clear the plugin-info instance. This takes a weak reference on plugin_info , to avoid circular reference as the plugin-info might also reference the editor-plugin.

Parameters

plugin

the NMVpnEditorPlugin instance

 

plugin_info

a NMVpnPluginInfo instance or NULL.

[nullable]

Since: 1.4
