+Introduction to libnm

- libnm maps fairly closely to the actual D-Bus API that NetworkManager - provides, wrapping the remote D-Bus objects as native GObjects, - mapping D-Bus signals and properties to GObject signals and properties, - and providing helpful accessor and utility functions. However, unlike - the old libnm-util/libnm-glib API, the mapping to the D-Bus API is not - exact, and various inconveniences and historical anomolies of the D-Bus - API are papered over. -

+ libnm is a client library for NetworkManager, the standard Linux network + management service. NetworkManager supports a wide variety of network + configuration scenarios, hardware devices and protocol families. Most of + the functionality is exposed on a + D-Bus API, + allowing other tools to use the functionality provided by NetworkManager. +

+

+ libnm provides C language bindings for functionality provided by + NetworkManager, optionally useful from other language runtimes as well. +

- The following is a rough overview of the libnm object structure and - how to use the various parts of it: + libnm maps fairly closely to the actual D-Bus API that NetworkManager + provides, wrapping the remote D-Bus objects as native GObjects, + mapping D-Bus signals and properties to GObject signals and properties, + and providing helpful accessor and utility functions.
