The function nmc_print() receives a list of "targets". These are essentially
the rows that should be printed (while the "fields" list represents the columns).
When filling the cells with values, it calles repeatedly get_fcn() on the
column descriptors (fields), by passing each row (target).
The caller must be well aware that the fields and targets are
compatible. For example, in some cases the targets are NMDevice
instances and the target type must correspond to what get_fcn()
expects.
Add another user-data pointer that is passed on along with the
targets. That is useful, if we have a list of targets/rows, but
pass in additional data that applies to all rows alike.
It is still unused.
gretap and ip6gretap ip-tunnel interfaces encapsulate L2 packets over
IP. Allow adding a wired setting for such connections so that users
can change the interface MAC.
It is safer to enable send-sci by default because, at the cost of
8-byte overhead, it makes MACsec work over bridges (note that kernel
also enables it by default). While at it, also make the option
configurable.

With some manual adjustments on spots that Cocci didn't catch for

Thanks to the marvelous effort of the GNU compiler developer we can now
spare a couple of bits that could be used for more important things,
like this commit message. Standards commitees yet have to catch up.
It is meant to be rather similar in nature to isblank() or
g_ascii_isspace().
Sadly, isblank() is locale dependent while g_ascii_isspace() also considers
vertical whitespace as a space. That's no good for configuration files that
are strucutured into lines, which happens to be a pretty common case.
Add a new a new field to enum type descriptors that specify a list of
nicks valid only for getter functions. It is useful when the get
function must return a string different from the enum nick and that
string can't be used to set a value.
I find very annoying to have to remember the numeric value of secret
flags or have to look them up in the manual every time. Accept the
textual version as well and add support for auto-completion.

Substrings matching the heading of valid values were allowed if not
ambiguous (e.g.: "et" for "eth"). Moreover, upper case variants were
accepted too.
Do a plain string comparison check against the valid values.
Improve also the error message: give a list of valid tx-hashes.
The `settings-docs.c` file is generated by processing the
`nm-property-docs.xml` file. Although this works in autotools,
the `.c` extension makes meson not to handle it properly.
Given the fact that it only contains a number of defines it
makes sense to change its extension to `.h` an use it as a header.
This also makes meson to handle it properly and build it before
its used.

In most cases, it copies the entire strv needlessly.
We can do better.
Also, the max_tokens argument is handled wrongly (albeit
not used anywhere anymore).
nmc_strsplit_set()'s max_token argument is broken,
because it *first* calls g_strsplit_set() and then removes
empty tokens. It wasn't an issue, because DEFINE_SETTER_PRIV_KEY()
would first already remove leading spaces, and who uses multiple
spaces anyway...
Anyway, refactor DEFINE_SETTER_PRIV_KEY() to not use it.
Next we will use siphash24() instead of the glib version g_direct_hash() or
g_str_hash(). Hence, the "nm-utils/nm-hash-utils.h" header becomes very
fundamental and will be needed basically everywhere.
Instead of requiring the users to include them, let it be included via
"nm-default.h" header.
The number of authentication retires is useful also for passwords aside
802-1x settings. For example, src/devices/wifi/nm-device-wifi.c also has
a retry counter and uses a hard-coded value of 3.
Move the setting, so that it can be used in general. Although it is still
not implemented for other settings.
This is an API and ABI break.
Replace the usage of g_str_hash() with our own nm_str_hash().
GLib's g_str_hash() uses djb2 hashing function, just like we
do at the moment. The only difference is, that we use a diffrent
seed value.
Note, that we initialize the hash seed with random data (by calling
getrandom() or reading /dev/urandom). That is a change compared to
before.
This change of the hashing function and accessing the random pool
might be undesired for libnm/libnm-core. Hence, the change is not
done there as it possibly changes behavior for public API. Maybe
we should do that later though.
At this point, there isn't much of a change. This patch becomes
interesting, if we decide to use a different hashing algorithm.
