3GPP profile manager | index field: apn-type
Different options are set as `feature`, also every possible plugin,
but this may cause confusion.
All options set as `feature` but plugins have been made `boolean` to
avoid further confusions.
`help2man` is also installed in the CI image because is required to
build different libraries.
These values show the rates that have been negotiated with the network
during the PS domain attach.
These are not the current ongoing data rates associated to the network
usage at some given moment.
Includes updates by Aleksander Morgado to fix coding style issues and
add missing documentation items.
It stores the epoch timestamp of the current bearer session start.
If there is no connected bearer, it is set to 0 and not displayed
in mmcli output.

Includes updates by Aleksander Morgado to fix coding style issues.
meson is a build system focused on speed an ease of use, which
helps speeding up the software development. This patch adds meson
support along autotools.
Multi-sentence NMEA messages were printed as is, that is with
linebreaks, which made mmcli --location-get output look broken.
Split NMEA sentences with linebreaks to separate output list items, so
that they line up correctly.
This action allows us to monitor location updates as signaled via the
'Location' property, only available if location signaling has been
explicitly enabled (e.g. with --location-set-enable-signal)
TAC is 3 bytes for NG-RAN as specified in 3GPP TS 38.413 clause
9.3.3.10 and in 3GPP TS 24.501 clause 9.10.3.8.
We'll always print it as 3 bytes in the cli output, as that's also
backwards compatible with the original 2 byte TAC in LTE.
This new property will provide detailed information about the failed
connection attempt, or about the network initiated disconnection. The
property will be cleared only if a new connection attempt is
triggered, and so it can be used to investigate why a given attempt
failed without needing to be the one who triggered the attempt (e.g.
so that failures in NetworkManager-triggered connection attempts can
be investigated looking at the DBus API).
The property is built as a (ss) tuple, but the libmm-glib interface
provides methods to read this property as a GError.
To report which is the currently active profile with this bearer, if
known. If the modem doesn't support profiles, or if the bearer is
disconnected, -1 (MM_3GPP_PROFILE_ID_UNKNOWN) will be reported.
It is guaranteed that no two connected bearers will have the same
ProfileId property value.
This new interface allows modems to expose the list of available
connection profiles stored in the device and edit or delete them; as
long as the underlying device/protocol allows it.
We define a new 'profile-id' setting in the bearer properties that
users will use to specify which connection profile of the ones
available in the device should be connected.
When the 'profile-id' is given, the associated bearer object will be
bound to the 'profile-id', and the user is able to provide additional
settings to apply on top (e.g. if the profile storage doesn't allow
some of the settings we support, like 'apn-type', or if the setting is
completely unrelated to profiles, like 'multiplex').
After introducing the 'profile-id' as a valid setting in the bearer
properties, we also reimplement the properties object internals to
make use a 3GPP profile for the subset of common settings between both
objects.
This new setting allows the user setting up the connection to specify
the purpose of the connection being brought up.
Until now, we would always assume that connections are exclusively
brought up for connecting to the Internet, also limited by the
inability to connect to multiple different APNs at the same time.
But that may really not be true as there may be additional services
that may be accessed through other APNs, like MMS services or even
private networks for companies that have their own APNs on a given
operator (e.g. not that uncommon with banks and connected cars).
The new APN type setting will not change the way the bearer is
connected, but will allow the connection manager to decide what kind
of networking setup the specific connection needs.
This new setting can be provided by the user itself, or implicitly
read from the device if the device stores this information.
This property will be TRUE if the bearer has the data session
connected through a multiplexed interface.
If the bearer is disconnected, or connected without multiplexing, the
property will report FALSE.
This very peculiar case can happen when an intermediate initiliazition step
of a modem fails.
The ModemManager daemon should always expose the modem interface but let not
assume that in mmcli and protect these calls.
