+.SH "NAME"
+nm-settings-keyfile \- Description of \fIkeyfile\fR settings plugin
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+NetworkManager is based on the concept of connection profiles that contain network configuration (see
+\fBnm-settings\fR(5)
+for details)\&. The profiles can be stored in various formats\&. NetworkManager uses plugins for reading and writing the data\&. The plugins can be configured in
+\fBNetworkManager.conf\fR(5)\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fIkeyfile\fR
+plugin is the generic plugin that supports all the connection types and capabilities that NetworkManager has\&. It writes files out in a \&.ini\-style format in
+/etc/NetworkManager/system\-connections/\&. This plugin is always enabled and will automatically be used to store any connections that are not supported by any other active plugin\&. For security, it will ignore files that are readable or writeable by any user or group other than \*(Aqroot\*(Aq since private keys and passphrases may be stored in plaintext inside the file\&.
+.SH "FILE FORMAT"
+.PP
+The
+\fIkeyfile\fR
+config format is a simple \&.ini\-style format\&. It consists of sections (groups) of key\-value pairs\&. Each section corresponds to a setting name as described in the settings specification (\fBnm-settings\fR(5))\&. Each configuration key/value pair in the section is one of the properties listed in the settings specification\&. The majority of properties of the specification is written in the same format into the
+\fIkeyfile\fR
+too\&. However some values are inconvenient for people to use\&. These are stored in the files in more readable ways\&. These properties are described bellow\&. An example could be IP addresses that are not written as integer arrays, but more reasonably as "1\&.2\&.3\&.4/12 1\&.2\&.3\&.254"\&. More information of the generic key file format can be found at
+\m[blue]\fBGLib key file format\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
+(Lines beginning with a \*(Aq#\*(Aq are comments, lists are separated by character
+;
+etc\&.)\&.
+.PP
+Users can create or modify the
+\fIkeyfile\fR
+connection files manually, even if that is not the recommended way of managing the profiles\&. However, if they choose to do that, they must inform NetworkManager about their changes (see
+\fImonitor\-connection\-file\fR
+in
+\fBnm-settings\fR(5)
+and
+\fInmcli con (re)load\fR)\&.

+\fIkeyfile\fR
+plugin variables for the majority of NetworkManager properties have one\-to\-one mapping\&. It means a NetworkManager property is stored in the keyfile as a variable of the same name and in the same format\&. There are several exceptions to this rule, mainly for making keyfile syntax easier for humans\&. The exceptions handled specially by
+\fIkeyfile\fR
+plugin are listed bellow\&. Refer to
+\fBnm-settings\fR(5)
+for all available settings and properties and their description\&.
+.PP
+\fBName aliases\fR. Some of the NetworkManager setting names are somewhat hard to type or remember\&. Therefore
+\fIkeyfile\fR
+introduces aliases that can be used instead of the names\&.
