+            Reload NetworkManager's configuration and perform certain
+            updates, like flushing caches or rewriting external state to
+            disk. This is similar to sending SIGHUP to NetworkManager
+            but it allows for more fine-grained control over what to
+            reload through the flags argument. It also allows non-root
+            access via PolicyKit and contrary to signals it is
+            synchronous. Available flags are:

+                Restart the DNS plugin. This is for example useful when

+                plugin. This action shortly interrupts name resolution.
