nmcli -c auto -> colors will only be used when stdout is a terminal
nmcli -c yes -> colors will be enabled unconditionally
nmcli -c no -> colors will be disabled unconditionally
The option allows you to specify custom sorting order.
Default order (when no --order is provided) corresponds to -o "active:name:path"
Examples:
nmcli con show -o name
nmcli con show -o +name
- sort connections by name alphabetically
nmcli con show -o -name
- sort connections by name alphabetically in reverse order
mmcli con show -o active:name
- sort connections first by active status, then by name
mmcli con show -o -path
- sort connections by D-Bus path in reverse order
Synopsis:
nmcli agent { secret | polkit | all }
The command runs separate NetworkManager secret agent or session polkit agent, or both.
It is useful when
- no other secret agent is available (such as GUI nm-applet, gnome-shell, KDE applet)
- no other polkit agent is available (such as polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1,
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 or lxpolkit)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739568
It is useful for running nmcli without --ask option, i.e. non-interactively.
Example contents of the file:
wifi.psk: s e c r e t 12345
802-1x.password:kili manjaro
802-1x.pin:987654321
It can be used to display connection secrets (passwords). When used, it will
get secrets for the connection profile and merge it into the connection's
settings before displaying it.
Example:
nmcli con show -s hotel-wifi
Only default (infrastructure) mode connections can be created and as it's not
possible to write mode=ap connections with ifcfg-rh plugins, they can't be
switched to mode=ap.
This allows setting bridge MAC either on command-line
nmcli con add type bridge con-name mybridge mac 11:22:33:44:55:66
or provide it when asked
nmcli -a con add type bridge con-name mybridge
nmcli con add type team-slave ifname em2 master team-master0
nmcli con add type team-slave ifname em2 master id/team-master0
It helps to disambiguate values for cases where they may overlap,
e.g. "team0" -> "ifname/team0" or "id/team0"
nmcli con add type *-slave ifname em1 master <ifname|UUID|name>
'master' property of 'connection' setting has to be either interface name or
connection UUID of master connection. However, to make nmcli more convenient
for users, we also allow specifying connection name and translating it to UUID
automatically.

Synopsis:
nmcli con modify -<property>.<setting> <value>
'value' can be empty ("") to remove the whole property value value (in this
case the behaviour is the same as without '-').
Or the 'value' is an index of the item to remove, or an option name (for a few
properties that have option names, like bond.options or ethernet.s390-options).
$ nmcli con mod myeth ipv4.dns "10.0.0.55 10.0.0.66 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
---> ipv4.dns: 10.0.0.55, 10.0.0.66, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
$ nmcli con mod myeth -ipv4.dns 1
---> ipv4.dns: 10.0.0.55, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
---> bond.options: mode=balance-rr
$ nmcli con mod bond0 +bond.options "mii=500, downdelay=800"
---> bond.options: downdelay=800,miimon=500,mode=balance-rr
$ nmcli con mod bond0 -bond.options downdelay
---> bond.options: miimon=500,mode=balance-rr
Handle connection profiles in a single 'show' command instead of 'show active'
and 'show configured'.
nmcli con show [--active] [[id|uuid|path|apath] <bla>]
nmcli con show : display all connection profiles
nmcli con show --active : only display active connection profiles
(filters out inactive profiles)
nmcli con show myeth : display details of "myeth" profile, and also active
connection info (if the profile is active)
nmcli -f profile con show myeth : only display "myeth"'s static configuration
nmcli -f active con show myeth : only display active details of "myeth"
nmcli -f connection.id,ipv4,general con show myeth
: display "connection.id"a property
"ipv4" setting and "GENERAL" group
of active data

Make clear, that only full names are guaranteed to work in future
versions. The use of some abbreviations might break as new options
get added.
It would be rather complicated, to ensure, that abbreviations always
continue to work, at the additional disadvantage, that they no longer
uniquely identify an option. Instead, clearly state that using
them is not guaranteed to work in the future. Users that care about
long term compatibility should instead spell out the full names.
Abbreviations are mainly here for interactive use.

Add a "monitor-connection-files" config option, which can be set to
"false" to disable automatic reloading of connections on file change.
To go with this, add a new ReloadConnections method on
o.fd.NM.Settings that can be used to manually reload connections, and
add an nm-cli command to call it.
