5 Interface net.connman.Manager
8 Methods dict GetProperties()
10 Returns all global system properties. See the
11 properties section for available properties.
13 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
15 void SetProperty(string name, variant value)
17 Changes the value of the specified property. Only
18 properties that are listed as read-write are
19 changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
22 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
23 [service].Error.InvalidProperty
25 array{object,dict} GetTechnologies()
27 Returns a list of tuples with technology object
28 path and dictionary of technology properties.
30 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
32 array{object,dict} GetServices()
34 Returns a sorted list of tuples with service
35 object path and dictionary of service properties.
37 This list will not contain sensitive information
40 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
42 object ConnectProvider(dict provider) [deprecated]
44 Connect to a VPN specified by the given provider
47 When successful this method will return the object
48 path of the VPN service object.
50 This method can also be used to connect to an
53 This method call will only return in case of an
54 error or when the service is fully connected. So
55 setting a longer D-Bus timeout might be a really
58 When 'SessionMode' property is enabled, this method
61 This API is deprecated and should not be used.
62 The VPN configuration API is provided by ConnMan
63 VPN daemon and user should use that one instead.
65 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
67 void RemoveProvider(object path) [deprecated]
69 Remove a VPN specified by the object path.
71 void RegisterAgent(object path)
73 Register new agent for handling user requests.
75 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
77 void UnregisterAgent(object path)
79 Unregister an existing agent.
81 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
83 void RegisterCounter(object path, uint32 accuracy, uint32 period) [experimental]
85 Register a new counter for user notifications.
87 The accuracy is specified in kilo-bytes and defines
88 a threshold for counter updates. Together with the
89 period value it defines how often user space needs
90 to be updated. The period value is in seconds.
92 This interface is not meant for time tracking. If
93 the time needs to be tracked down to the second, it
94 is better to have a real timer running inside the
95 application than using this interface.
97 Also getting notified for every kilo-byte is a bad
98 choice (even if the interface supports it). Something
99 like 10 kilo-byte units or better 1 mega-byte seems
100 to be a lot more reasonable and better for the user.
102 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
104 void UnregisterCounter(object path) [experimental]
106 Unregister an existing counter.
108 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
110 object CreateSession(dict settings, object notifier) [experimental]
112 Create a new session for the application. Every
113 application can create multiple session with
114 different settings. The settings are described
115 as part of the session interface.
117 The notifier allows asynchronous notification about
118 session specific changes. These changes can be
119 for online/offline state or IP address changes or
120 similar things the application is required to
123 Every application should at least create one session
124 to inform about its requirements and it purpose.
126 void DestroySession(object session) [experimental]
128 Remove the previously created session.
130 If an application exits unexpectatly the session
131 will be automatically destroyed.
133 object path, dict, fd RequestPrivateNetwork(dict options)
136 Request a new Private Network, which includes the
137 creation of a tun/tap interface, and IP
138 configuration, NAT and IP forwarding on that
140 An object path, a dictionnary and a file descriptor
141 with IP settings are returned.
143 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
144 [service].Error.NotSupported
146 void ReleasePrivateNetwork(object path) [experimental]
148 Releases a private network.
150 Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
152 Signals TechnologyAdded(object path, dict properties)
154 Signal that is sent when a new technology is added.
156 It contains the object path of the technology and
159 TechnologyRemoved(object path)
161 Signal that is sent when a technology has been removed.
163 The object path is no longer accessible after this
164 signal and only emitted for reference.
166 ServicesChanged(array{object, dict}, array{object})
168 Signals a list of services that have been changed
169 via the first array. And a list of service that
170 have been removed via the second array.
172 The list of added services is sorted. The dictionary
173 with the properties might be empty in case none of
174 the properties have changed. Or only contains the
175 properties that have changed.
177 For newly added services the whole set of properties
180 The list of removed services can be empty.
182 This signal will only be triggered when the sort
183 order of the service list or the number of services
184 changes. It will not be emitted if only a property
185 of the service object changes. For that it is
186 required to watch the PropertyChanged signal of
189 PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
191 This signal indicates a changed value of the given
194 Properties string State [readonly]
196 The global connection state of a system. Possible
197 values are "offline", "idle", "ready" and "online".
199 If the device is in offline mode, the value "offline"
200 indicates this special global state. It can also be
201 retrieved via the OfflineMode property, but is kept
202 here for consistency and to differentiate from "idle".
204 However when OfflineMode property is true, the State
205 property can still be "idle", "ready" or "online"
206 since it is possible by the end user to re-enable
207 individual technologies like WiFi and Bluetooth while
210 The states "idle", "ready" and "online" match to
211 states from the services. If no service is in
212 either "ready" or "online" state it will indicate
215 If at least one service is in "ready" state and no
216 service is in "online" state, then it will indicate
219 When at least one service is in "online" state,
220 this property will indicate "online" as well.
222 boolean OfflineMode [readwrite]
224 The offline mode indicates the global setting for
225 switching all radios on or off. Changing offline mode
226 to true results in powering down all devices. When
227 leaving offline mode the individual policy of each
228 device decides to switch the radio back on or not.
230 During offline mode, it is still possible to switch
231 certain technologies manually back on. For example
232 the limited usage of WiFi or Bluetooth devices might
233 be allowed in some situations.
235 boolean SessionMode [readwrite] [experminental]
237 This disables the auto connect feature. It should be
238 enabled when the Session API is used. When SessionMode
239 is enabled, 'ConnectService' and 'ConnectProvider'
240 method calls are disallowed.
242 The default value is false.
