This ensures that the next time secrets are required, they will
be requested from the settings service. Internally, NM shouldn't
be caching secrets; it should always request them from the settings
service so that the settings service can enforce policy about
password lifetime, if it wants to.
Option '--multiline' was replaced with '--mode tabular|multiline'.
It was neccessary to be able to switch to tabular output mode for
'dev list' and 'con list id|uuid' commands as they now print out
in multiline mode by default. All other commands are in tabular
mode by default.
The original OLPC mesh patch confused g_source_remove() with
g_signal_handler_disconnect(), so the signal handler that the
mesh device creates for the managers 'device-added' signal was
getting called after that mesh device instance was freed, which
is of course bad.
nmcli uses its own code to dump connections' details instead of
libnm-util's nm_connection_dump(). It allows to structure output
and present values of the settings according to nmcli needs.
After the DUN branch merge (I think?) a number of NM_IS_MODEM
calls were left around which now always return FALSE since
NMDeviceCdma and NMDeviceGsm aren't subclasses of NMModem anymore.
But we still need generic "is this a modem subclass" checks in
a few places, so add a modem base class that both the GSM and
CDMA device classes inherit from and use that.
Plus, we want to consolidate a ton of the common code in
nm-device-gsm.c and nm-device-cdma.c into the base class in the
future anyway.
If SSID is a UTF-8 string, it is printed as it is, but enclosed in quotes.
Otherwise the bytes are converted to hex string (in uppercase).
The added quotes for UTF-8 string allow to disambiguate the two forms.
Modifications are mainly for multiline mode to ease parsing - each
field name is prefixed with a section name.
'dev list' now also supports printing particular sections specifed via
'--fields' option.
If your distributor forgot to set up the client path for you, this
makes NM look in the right places and allows you to use either client
if it's installed, no matter what NM was configured with.
The output is basically tabular with fields (columns) presenting specific pieces of info.
Each line represents a single object. It's possible to switch to multiline output using
'--multiline' option. In that mode single object is presented on more lines - each field
on its line.
Terse mode now uses ':' as field separator. It also escapes all occurences of ':' and '\'
inside field values to ease parsing. The escaping behaviour can be controlled through
'--escape' option. By default, escaping is switched on in tabular mode. When using terse
mode ('--terse'), '--fields' option is mandatory for specifying required fields. That helps
for flexibility and backwards compatibility.
Not all output is converted yet.
