Just like `nmcli device connect` only allows one argument, don't allow
multiple device arguments for reapply.
Allowing multiple device names makes it more complicated to add
additional options to the command. For example, it would be useful
to have a
nmcli device reapply eth0 connection id other-connection
but when allowing multiple device names, it gets more complicated in
documentation, command line parsing and bash completion.
Note that the user can achieve a very similar outcome by using the
shell:
for DEV in eth0 eth1 eth2; do
nmcli device reapply $DEV &
done
wait
argubaly, this doesn't report the exit status properly. To properly
handle that would require more effort. Also, it is somewhat less
efficient, but well.
This is an API change, however it is very new API that probably nobody
is using much. Also, the documentation (man nmcli) didn't mention the
possibility to pass multiple device names.
When performing NM package upgrade the new version of nmcli will be immediately
available while NM daemon will not, as it would not restart in order to avoid
to disrupt connectivity. This could create issues with tools leveraging
on nmcli output (till reboot). As apart from this case it is very unlikely
that a user can have this nmcli / NM daemon version mismatch situation,
the check could cause more harm than benefit in real user case
scenarios.

- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
This breaks API and ABI for the functions related to Reapply,
which got introduced in the current 1.1 development phase.
The version-id is here to allow users to error out if the connection
on the device was changed by a concurrent action.

The device never returns NULL access point list, it only deallocates it on
dispose(). Make this clear for Coverity:
CID 59387 (#1 of 1): Dereference before null check (REVERSE_INULL)
check_after_deref: Null-checking aps suggests that it may be null, but it has
already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.
- it controls echoing passwords input on terminal
- it replaces --show-secrets in 'nmcli connection show', which is deprecated now
- it replaces --show-password in 'nmcli device wifi hotspot', which is deprecated now
$ nmcli dev wifi connect 00:22:6B:EB:1D:CA hidden yes
Warning: '00:22:6B:EB:1D:CA' should be SSID for hidden APs; but it looks like a BSSID.
Error: Failed to add/activate new connection: 802-11-wireless.ssid: connection does not match access point
The list of LLDP neighbors is available through the D-Bus interface
and libnm already provides functions to retrieve it; make the list
available through nmcli as well. Sample output:

It is useful to show nmcli-generated hotspot password (if a user does not
provide his own password). Without the option the user would have to look into
the generated profile in order to find out the password.
'ssid' can repeat when more SSIDs should be scanned, e.g.
$ nmcli dev wifi rescan ssid "hidden cafe" ssid AP12 ssid "my home Wi-Fi"

The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Even Fedora is no longer shipping the WiMAX SDK, so it's likely we'll
eventually accidentally break some of the code in src/devices/wimax/
(if we haven't already). Discussion on the list showed a consensus for
dropping support for WiMAX.
So, remove the SDK checks from configure.ac, remove the WiMAX device
plugin and associated manager support, and deprecate all the APIs.
For compatibility reasons, it is still possible to create and save
WiMAX connections, to toggle the software WiMAX rfkill state, and to
change the "WIMAX" log level, although none of these have any effect,
since no NMDeviceWimax will ever be created.
nmcli was only compiling in support for most WiMAX operations when NM
as a whole was built with WiMAX support, so that code has been removed
now as well. (It is still possible to use nmcli to create and edit
WiMAX connections, but those connections will never be activatable.)
Add new capabilities CAP_FREQ_2GHZ and CAP_FREQ_5GHZ to indicate the
frequency bands supported by a Wifi device.
Add also CAP_FREQ_VALID, which is set when the values of the other 2
capabilities are available.

set_connection_path() is almost always called right before enable(),
and it's unclear why it would be called anywhere else. So just
merge the two methods.
nm_secret_agent_simple_*() functions should take an
NMSecretAgentSimple, not an NMSecretAgent.
The type macros were incorrectly validating against
NM_TYPE_SECRET_AGENT rather than NM_TYPE_SECRET_AGENT_SIMPLE.
The signals might be delivered in no particular order and we need to wait for
the device to reach stable state (whether it's successfully conntected or not)
as well as the active connection to leave ACTIVATING state.
