-Plugins generally have three components:
-
-1) plugin object: manages the individual "connections", which are
-  just objects wrapped around on-disk config data.  The plugin handles requests
-  to add new connections via the NM D-Bus API, and also watches config
-  directories for changes to configuration data.  Plugins implement the
-  NMSettingsPlugin interface.  See plugin.c.
-
-2) "connections": subclasses of NMSettingsConnection.  They handle updates to
-  configuration data, deletion, etc.  See NMKeyfileConnection.
-
-3) reader/writer code: typically a separate static library that gets linked
-  into the main plugin shared object, so they can be unit tested separately
-  from the plugin.  This code should read config data from disk and create
-  an NMConnection from it, and be capable of taking an NMConnection and writing
-  out appropriate configuration data to disk.
-
-NM will first call the "factory" function that every module must provide, which
-is nm_settings_plugin_factory().  That function creates and returns a singleton
-instance of the plugin's main object, which implements NMSettingsPlugin.
-That interface is implemented via the object definition in G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED
-in plugin.c, which registers the interface setup function
-settings_plugin_interface_init(), which when called actually sets up the vtables
-for the functions defined by NMSettingsPluginInterface.  Thus there are two
-entry points into the plugin:  nm_settings_plugin_factory() and
-the NMSettingsPluginInterface methods.
-
-The plugin also emits various signals (defined by NMSettingsPluginInterface)
-which NetworkManager listens for.  These include notifications of new
-connections if they were created via changes to the on-disk files.  The
-"connection" objects can also emit signals (defined by the NMSettingsConnection
-and NMConnection superclasses) when the connections' backing storage gets
-changed or deleted.
