.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
-.I main.conf
+.B main.conf
is a configuration file for ConnMan. The configuration file is
optional but it can be used to set up various aspects of ConnMan's
behavior. The location of the file may be changed through use of
-the "\-\-config=" argument for \fBconnman\fP (8).
+the \fB\-\-config= \fRargument for \fBconnman\fP(8).
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
.P
The configuration file format is key file format.
.SS [General]
This section is the only mandatory section of the configuration file.
.TP
-.B InputRequestTimeout=\fPsecs\fP
+.BI InputRequestTimeout= secs
Set input request timeout. Default is 120 seconds
The request for inputs like passphrase will timeout
after certain amount of time. Use this setting to
increase the value in case of different user
interface designs.
.TP
-.B BrowserLaunchTimeout=\fPsecs\fP
+.BI BrowserLaunchTimeout= secs
Set browser launch timeout. Default is 300 seconds
The request for launching a browser for portal pages
will timeout after certain amount of time. Use this
setting to increase the value in case of different
user interface designs.
.TP
-.B BackgroundScanning=\fPtrue|false\fP
+.BI BackgroundScanning=true\ \fR|\fB\ false
Enable background scanning. Default is true.
Background scanning will start every 5 minutes unless
the scan list is empty. In that case, a simple backoff
mechanism starting from 10s up to 5 minutes will run.
.TP
-.B FallbackTimeservers=\fPserver1,server2,...\fP
+.BI FallbackTimeservers= server\fR[,...]
List of Fallback timeservers separated by ",".
These timeservers are used for NTP sync when there are
no timeserver set by the user or by the service.
These can contain mixed combination of fully qualified
domain names, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
.TP
-.B FallbackNameservers=\fPserver1,server2,...\fP
+.BI FallbackNameservers= server\fR[,...]
List of fallback nameservers separated by "," appended
to the list of nameservers given by the service. The
nameserver entries must be in numeric format, host
names are ignored.
.TP
-.B DefaultAutoConnectTechnologies=\fPtechnology1,technology2,...\fP
+.BI DefaultAutoConnectTechnologies= technology\fR[,...]
List of technologies that are marked autoconnectable
by default, separated by commas ",". The default value
for this entry when empty is ethernet,wifi,cellular.
Services that are automatically connected must have been
set up and saved to storage beforehand.
.TP
-.B PreferredTechnologies=\fPtechnology1,technology2,...\fP
+.BI AlwaysConnectedTechnologies= technology\fR[,...]
+List of technoolgies which are always connected regardless
+of PreferredTechnologies setting (AutoConnect = true). The
+default value is empty and this feature is disabled unless
+explicitely enabled in the config file.
+.TP
+.BI PreferredTechnologies= technology\fR[,...]
List of preferred technologies from the most preferred
one to the least preferred one separated by commas ",".
Services of the listed technology type will be tried one
the default route when compared to either a non-preferred
type or a preferred type further down in the list.
.TP
-.B NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=\fPinterface1,interface2,...\fP
+.BI NetworkInterfaceBlacklist= interface\fR[,...]
List of blacklisted network interfaces separated by ",".
Found interfaces will be compared to the list and will
not be handled by connman, if their first characters
match any of the list entries. Default value is
vmnet,vboxnet,virbr,ifb.
.TP
-.B AllowHostnameUpdates=\fPtrue|false\fP
+.BI AllowHostnameUpdates=true\ \fR|\fB\ false
Allow connman to change the system hostname. This can
happen for example if we receive DHCP hostname option.
Default value is true.
.TP
-.B SingleConnectedTechnology=\fPtrue|false\fP
+.BI SingleConnectedTechnology=true\ \fR|\fB\ false
Keep only a single connected technology at any time. When a new
service is connected by the user or a better one is found according
to PreferredTechnologies, the new service is kept connected and all
setting enabled applications will notice more network breaks than
normal. Default value is false.
.TP
-.B TetheringTechnologies=\fPtechnology1,technology2,...\fP
+.BI TetheringTechnologies= technology\fR[,...]
List of technologies that are allowed to enable tethering separated by ",".
The default value is wifi,bluetooth,gadget. Only those technologies listed
here are used for tethering. If one wants to tether ethernet,
tethered by default. Do not activate ethernet tethering unless you
really know what you are doing.
.TP
-.B PersistentTetheringMode=\fPtrue|false\fP
+.BI PersistentTetheringMode=true\ \fR|\fB\ false
Restore earlier tethering status when returning from offline mode,
re-enabling a technology, and after restarts and reboots.
Default value is false.
+.TP
+.BI Enable6to4=true\ \fR|\fB\ false
+Automatically enable Anycast 6to4 if possible. This is not recommended, as the
+use of 6to4 will generally lead to a severe degradation of connection quality.
+See RFC6343. Default value is false (as recommended by RFC6343 section 4.1).
+.TP
+.BI VendorClassID= string
+Set DHCP option 60 (Vendor Class ID) to the given string. This option can
+be used by DHCP servers to identify specific clients without having to
+rely on MAC address ranges, etc
+.TP
+.BI EnableOnlineCheck=true\ \fR|\fB\ false
+Enable or disable use of HTTP GET as an online status check.
+When a service is in a READY state, and is selected as default,
+ConnMan will issue an HTTP GET request to verify that end-to-end
+connectivity is successful. Only then the service will be
+transitioned to ONLINE state.
+If this setting is false, the default service will remain in READY state.
+Default value is true.
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+The following example configuration disables hostname updates and enables
+ethernet tethering.
