-          NetworkManager is based on the concept of connection profiles that contain
-          network configuration (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nm-settings-nmcli</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> 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 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>NetworkManager.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
-        </para><para>
-          The <emphasis>keyfile</emphasis> plugin is the generic plugin that supports all
-          the connection types and capabilities that NetworkManager has. The files are
-          in a .ini-style format and located in <filename>/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/</filename>,
-          <filename>/usr/lib/NetworkManager/system-connections/</filename> and
-          <filename>/run/NetworkManager/system-connections/</filename>.
-          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 writable by any user
-          other than 'root' since private keys and passphrases may be stored
-          in plaintext inside the file.
-        </para></refsect1><refsect1 id="file_format"><title>File Format</title><para>
-          The <emphasis>keyfile</emphasis> config format is a simple .ini-style
-          format. It consists of sections (groups) of key-value pairs.
-          More information of the generic key file format can be found at
-          <ulink url="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Key-value-file-parser.html#glib-Key-value-file-parser.description">
-          GLib key file format</ulink> (Lines beginning with a '#' are comments,
-          lists are separated by character <literal>;</literal> etc.).
-        </para><para>
-          Each section corresponds to a setting name as described in the settings
-          specification (<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nm-settings-nmcli</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). Each key/value pair in a
-          section is one of the properties from the specification.
-        </para><para>
-          The majority of properties are written in the same format as the
-          specification into the <emphasis>keyfile</emphasis>. However, some
-          values are inconvenient for people to use so they are stored in the
-          <emphasis>keyfile</emphasis> in more readable ways. These properties
-          that differ from the specification are described below.
-          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".
-          Also, some lists of complex values (addresses, routes, routing-rules),
-          instead of using a semicolon separated list, use one key-value pair
-          per list element, with the key being the singular of the property name
-          followed by the numeric index (i.e address1, address2, ...).
-        </para><para>
-          Users can create or modify the <emphasis>keyfile</emphasis> 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 (for example via <emphasis>nmcli con (re)load</emphasis>).
