This new flag allows users of the API to know whether general purpose
voice calls are allowed or otherwise only voice calls to the
registered emergency numbers should be performed.
ModemManager won't really do any distinction between emergency and
non-emergency calls at this point, this flag is just an early
indication for the user of the API that no normal voice call should be
attempted.
This tag is completely redundant because users can whitelist the
platform TTY ports to use with the more generic ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS
tag, which is part of the explicit whitelist filter rule.
The udev tag that allows flagging devices that MAY be modems
(e.g. USB<->RS232 adapters) is only applicable to TTY devices, so
explicitly specify that in the tag name as well.
Until now the ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE udev tag was being used in the
internal blacklist of devices shipped by ModemManager when running in
either DEFAULT or PARANOID filter modes. The name of the tag is
extremely misleading because it doesn't really make the full device be
ignored, the tag only applied to TTY ports.
This commit repurposes the tag so that it applies to ANY kind of
port (e.g. TTY, NET, cdc-wdm...) and also to any kind of filter type
(i.e. also applicable in STRICT mode).
The internal blacklist shipped by ModemManager, which should NOT be
used in STRICT mode, uses a new tag name, ID_MM_TTY_BLACKLIST.
The new ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE tag is therefore much more usable and its
name is really meaningful. If there are users or third-party projects
adding their own udev rules with the ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE tag name,
they should have no problem as the new rule is more restrictive than
the old one.
This method will join all active and held calls into a single
multiparty call, and then request the network to terminate the call on
the subscriber's end and transfer the control of the call to the
parties that are still in the call.
This method will put the currently active call on hold, and right away
accept the next available call.
The user of the API does not need to specify explicitly which is the
next call to accept, because that is decided automatically:
* If there is any waiting call, it will accept it right away.
* If there is no waiting call but there is a held call, it will make
the held call active again.
This method will hangup the currently active call and right away
accept the next available call.
The user of the API does not need to specify explicitly which is the
next call to accept, because that is decided automatically:
* If there is any waiting call, it will accept it right away.
* If there is no waiting call but there is a held call, it will make
the held call active again.
Which reports the version of the currently active carrier
configuration.
We also update the firmware 'version' reported in the firmware
settings so that carrier-specific upgrades can be performed (e.g. when
the firmware stays the same but the MCFG is updated).
During initialization phase we will allow querying the modem for the
details of which carrier-specific configuration is being used, and
will expose a description string in the API.
In addition to showing the current configuration, we will also allow
automatically switching the configuration based on the SIM card
detected in the device. In order to allow this, plugins/modems will
need to provide the expected mapping between carrier config
description and MCCMNC. This mapping cannot be generic, because
different manufacturers may use different description strings.
This new method allows users of the ModemManager API to take full
control of a given device.
Unlike other operations in the API, the inhibition is maintained as
long as the caller exists in the bus, or until the same caller
uninhibits the device.

This property contains the DBus path of a Bearer object of type
MM_BEARER_TYPE_DEFAULT_ATTACH, which is automatically exposed by the
modem when registered in the LTE network.
Unlike standard bearer objects created by the user, this bearer won't
allow any connection/disconnection request, as its status is bound to
the LTE registration exclusively.
The bearer settings exposed by the object include the APN details that
have been used during the initial packet network attach, which may be
defined by modem settings (e.g. if previously configured in the
firmware which APN to use for the given SIM card operator) or by the
network itself (e.g. if none configured, or if a network override is
required as when roaming).
The bearer object will be created as soon as the LTE attach status
details are known, and only while the modem is enabled. The
implementation allows modems to update the LTE attach status details
during runtime, so the bearer object with the settings may be
recreated during runtime as well.
Until now we have only allowed to use and setup 'default bearers' (in
4G) or 'primary contexts' (in 2G/3G).
We can define a couple of additional bearer types, though:
* The 'dedicated bearers' (in 4G) or 'secondary contexts' (in 2G/3G),
which are associated to a specific default/primary one, but which
provide specific QoS settings configured via traffic flow templates.
* The 'initial default EPS bearer', which is a special case of default
bearer in LTE, which is automatically created and connected when the
modem is registered in the LTE network.
This commit introduces a new 'MMBearerType' enumeration that will be
associated to each bearer through a 'BearerType' property in the
org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer interface, showing what kind of
bearer/context this is.
By default, right now, all bearer objects created are 'default'
bearers.
This prevents errors due to nasty typos in the strings.
We define all symbols in a single header file that is NOT considered
part of the API, as there is no need for MM clients to know about
these tags code-wise. These tags are only meaningful when associated
to devices in udev.
Information of each tag is included in the general API documentation.

Sometimes SUPL-server based A-GPS is not possible, e.g. if the module
doesn't have Internet connectivity. In such cases, the modem may
support injecting additional "assistance data" that may be downloaded
from the Internet using external means (e.g. WiFi), in order to keep
having a quick time to first fix.
We now support using this location assistance data, with the following
new API elements:
* A new mask of supported assistance data types is provided in the
SupportedAssistanceData property.
* A new list of URLs from where the aassistance data may be
downloaded is also provided in a new AssistanceDataServers
property.
* A new InjectAssistanceData() method is provided, to perform the
data injection in the module once it's been downloaded to the host
system.
The UE modes of operation for LTE are defined in 3GPP TS 24.301 (e.g.
section 4.3 in v10.3.0):
* PS mode 1: EPS only, 'voice centric'
* PS mode 2: EPS only, 'data centric'
* CS/PS mode 1: EPS and non-EPS, 'voice centric'
* CS/PS mode 2: EPS and non-EPS, 'data centric'
The mode specifies, among other things, how the UE should behave w.r.t
CS fallback depending on the capabilities reported by the network.
When this symbol is defined, e.g. via CFLAGS, building a program that
uses the ModemManager API will fail if the program references
deprecated symbols.
For now we just use it to keep gtk-doc-scan happy and avoid
unnecessary warnings.
