- 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

Coverity complains:
CID 59386 (#1 of 1): Dereference before null check (REVERSE_INULL)
check_after_deref: Null-checking cons suggests that it may be null, but it has
already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.
Make it possible to change ethernet.mtu and
ethernet.cloned-mac-address properties of tun/tap devices
(cloned-mac-address is meaningful only for taps).
- 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
Synopsis:
nmcli connection clone [--temporary] [id|uuid|path] <ID> <new name>
It copies the <ID> connection as <new name>. The command is very useful
if there is a connection, but another one is needed for a related
configuration. One can copy the existing profile and modify it for the
new situation.
For example:
$ nmcli con clone main-eth second-eth
$ nmcli con modify second-eth connection.interface-name em4

Example:
before:
$ nmcli c add type gsm con-nameX aaa ifname fsd
Error: 'ifname' argument is required.
now:
$ nmcli c add type gsm con-nameX aaa ifname fsd
Error: mandatory 'ifname' not seen before 'con-nameX'.
When a VLAN connection was added with command:
nmcli c add type vlan ifname v10 id 10 dev 00:11:22:33:44:55
nmcli tried to assign a byte-array value to the ethernet.mac-address
string property, resulting in a invalid connection which failed to
verify. Fix this and set the value as plain string.
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.
