the active connection was generated to represent an external configuration of a networking device.

New in version 1.26.

IP6_READY = 16

IPv6 setting is completed.

IS_SLAVE = 2

the device is a slave.

MASTER_HAS_SLAVES = 32

The master has any slave devices attached. This only makes sense if the device is a master.

LAYER2_READY = 4

layer2 is activated and ready.

LIFETIME_BOUND_TO_PROFILE_VISIBILITY = 64

the lifetime of the activation is bound to the visibility of the connection profile, which in turn depends on “connection.permissions” and whether a session for the user exists.

New in version 1.16.

IP4_READY = 8

IPv4 setting is completed.

class NM.BluetoothCapabilities(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

NM.BluetoothCapabilities values indicate the usable capabilities of a Bluetooth device.

class NM.CheckpointCreateFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

The flags for CheckpointCreate call

New in version 1.12.

NONE = 0

no flags

DESTROY_ALL = 1

when creating a new checkpoint, destroy all existing ones.

NO_PRESERVE_EXTERNAL_PORTS = 16

during rollback, by default externally added ports attached to bridge devices are preserved. With this flag, the rollback detaches all external ports. This only has an effect for bridge ports. Before 1.38, this was the default behavior.

New in version 1.38.

DELETE_NEW_CONNECTIONS = 2

upon rollback, delete any new connection added after the checkpoint.

New in version 1.6.

DISCONNECT_NEW_DEVICES = 4

upon rollback, disconnect any new device appeared after the checkpoint.

New in version 1.6.

ALLOW_OVERLAPPING = 8

by default, creating a checkpoint fails if there are already existing checkpoints that reference the same devices. With this flag, creation of such checkpoints is allowed, however, if an older checkpoint that references overlapping devices gets rolled back, it will automatically destroy this checkpoint during rollback. This allows to create several overlapping checkpoints in parallel, and rollback to them at will. With the special case that rolling back to an older checkpoint will invalidate all overlapping younger checkpoints. This opts-in that the checkpoint can be automatically destroyed by the rollback of an older checkpoint.

New in version 1.12.

class NM.ClientInstanceFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

New in version 1.24.

NONE = 0

special value to indicate no flags.

NO_AUTO_FETCH_PERMISSIONS = 1

by default, NM.Client will fetch the permissions via “GetPermissions” and refetch them when “CheckPermissions” signal gets received. By setting this flag, this behavior can be disabled. You can toggle this flag to enable and disable automatic fetching of the permissions. Watch also NM.Client.get_permissions_state() to know whether the permissions are up to date.

INITIALIZED_GOOD = 2

as NM.Client is an Gio.Initable and Gio.AsyncInitable, NM.Client.get_instance_flags() returns this flag once initialization completed with success. This flag cannot be set as NM.CLIENT_INSTANCE_FLAGS property.

NM.DhcpHostnameFlags describe flags related to the DHCP hostname and FQDN.

New in version 1.22.

NONE = 0

no flag set. The default value from Networkmanager global configuration is used. If such value is unset or still zero, the DHCP request will use standard FQDN flags, i.e. NM.DhcpHostnameFlags.FQDN_SERV_UPDATE and NM.DhcpHostnameFlags.FQDN_ENCODED for IPv4 and NM.DhcpHostnameFlags.FQDN_SERV_UPDATE for IPv6.

FQDN_SERV_UPDATE = 1

whether the server should do the A RR (FQDN-to-address) DNS updates.

FQDN_ENCODED = 2

if set, the FQDN is encoded using canonical wire format. Otherwise it uses the deprecated ASCII encoding. This flag is allowed only for DHCPv4.

FQDN_NO_UPDATE = 4

when not set, request the server to perform updates (the PTR RR and possibly the A RR based on the NM.DhcpHostnameFlags.FQDN_SERV_UPDATE flag). If this is set, the NM.DhcpHostnameFlags.FQDN_SERV_UPDATE flag should be cleared.

FQDN_CLEAR_FLAGS = 8

when set, no FQDN flags are sent in the DHCP FQDN option. When cleared and all other FQDN flags are zero, standard FQDN flags are sent. This flag is incompatible with any other FQDN flag.

Compare flags for NM.IPAddress.cmp_full().

New in version 1.22.

NONE = 0

no flags.

WITH_ATTRS = 1

when comparing two addresses, also consider their attributes. Warning: note that attributes are GVariants and they don’t have a total order. In other words, if the address differs only by their attributes, the returned compare order is not total. In that case, the return value merely indicates equality (zero) or inequality.

class NM.IPRoutingRuleAsStringFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

New in version 1.18.

NONE = 0

no flags selected.

AF_INET = 1

whether to allow parsing IPv4 addresses.

AF_INET6 = 2

whether to allow parsing IPv6 addresses. If both NM.IPRoutingRuleAsStringFlags.AF_INET and NM.IPRoutingRuleAsStringFlags.AF_INET6 are unset, it’s the same as setting them both.

class NM.KeyfileHandlerFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

Flags for customizing NM.keyfile_read() and NM.keyfile_write().

Currently no flags are implemented.

New in version 1.30.

NONE = 0

no flags set.

class NM.ManagerReloadFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

Flags for the manager Reload() call.

New in version 1.22.

CONF = 1

reload the NetworkManager.conf configuration from disk. Note that this does not include connections, which can be reloaded via Setting’s ReloadConnections().

DNS_RC = 2

update DNS configuration, which usually involves writing /etc/resolv.conf anew.

DNS_FULL = 4

means to restart the DNS plugin. This is for example useful when using dnsmasq plugin, which uses additional configuration in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d. If you edit those files, you can restart the DNS plugin. This action shortly interrupts name resolution.

class NM.MptcpFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

New in version 1.40.

NONE = 0

The default, meaning that no MPTCP flags are set.

DISABLED = 1

don’t configure MPTCP endpoints on the device.

FULLMESH = 128

Flag for the MPTCP endpoint. If this is a subflow endpoint and additional subflow creation is allowed by the MPTCP limits, the MPTCP path manager will try to create an additional subflow for each known peer address, using this endpoint as the source address. This will occur after the MPTCP connection is established. If the peer did not announce any additional addresses using the MPTCP ADD_ADDR sub-option, this will behave the same as a plain subflow endpoint. When the peer does announce addresses, each received ADD_ADDR sub-option will trigger creation of an additional subflow to generate a full mesh topology.

SIGNAL = 16

Flag for the MPTCP endpoint. The endpoint will be announced/signaled to each peer via an MPTCP ADD_ADDR sub-option.

ENABLED = 2

MPTCP is enabled and endpoints will be configured. This flag is implied if any of the other flags indicate that MPTCP is enabled and therefore in most cases unnecessary. Note that if “/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled” sysctl is disabled, MPTCP handling is disabled despite this flag. This can be overruled with the “also-without-sysctl” flag. Note that by default interfaces that don’t have a default route are excluded from having MPTCP endpoints configured. This can be overruled with the “also-without-default-route” and this affects endpoints per address family.

SUBFLOW = 32

Flag for the MPTCP endpoint. If additional subflow creation is allowed by the MPTCP limits, the MPTCP path manager will try to create an additional subflow using this endpoint as the source address after the MPTCP connection is established.

ALSO_WITHOUT_SYSCTL = 4

even if MPTCP handling is enabled via the “enabled” flag, it is ignored unless “/proc/sys/net/mptcp/enabled” is on. With this flag, MPTCP endpoints will be configured regardless of the sysctl setting.

BACKUP = 64

Flag for the MPTCP endpoint. If this is a subflow endpoint, the subflows created using this endpoint will have the backup flag set during the connection process. This flag instructs the peer to only send data on a given subflow when all non-backup subflows are unavailable. This does not affect outgoing data, where subflow priority is determined by the backup/non-backup flag received from the peer

ALSO_WITHOUT_DEFAULT_ROUTE = 8

even if MPTCP handling is enabled via the “enabled” flag, it is ignored per-address family unless NetworkManager configures a default route. With this flag, NetworkManager will also configure MPTCP endpoints if there is no default route. This takes effect per-address family.

class NM.RadioFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

Flags related to radio interfaces.

NM.SecretAgentGetSecretsFlags values modify the behavior of a GetSecrets request.

ONLY_SYSTEM = -2147483648

Internal flag, not part of the D-Bus API.

NONE = 0

no special behavior; by default no user interaction is allowed and requests for secrets are fulfilled from persistent storage, or if no secrets are available an error is returned.

ALLOW_INTERACTION = 1

allows the request to interact with the user, possibly prompting via UI for secrets if any are required, or if none are found in persistent storage.

NO_ERRORS = 1073741824

Internal flag, not part of the D-Bus API.

REQUEST_NEW = 2

explicitly prompt for new secrets from the user. This flag signals that NetworkManager thinks any existing secrets are invalid or wrong. This flag implies that interaction is allowed.

USER_REQUESTED = 4

set if the request was initiated by user-requested action via the D-Bus interface, as opposed to automatically initiated by NetworkManager in response to (for example) scan results or carrier changes.

WPS_PBC_ACTIVE = 8

indicates that WPS enrollment is active with PBC method. The agent may suggest that the user pushes a button on the router instead of supplying a PSK.

class NM.Setting8021xAuthFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

NM.Setting8021xAuthFlags values indicate which authentication settings should be used.

class NM.SettingsAddConnection2Flags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

Numeric flags for the “flags” argument of AddConnection2() D-Bus API.

New in version 1.20.

NONE = 0

an alias for numeric zero, no flags set.

TO_DISK = 1

to persist the connection to disk.

IN_MEMORY = 2

to make the connection in-memory only.

BLOCK_AUTOCONNECT = 32

usually, when the connection has autoconnect enabled and gets added, it becomes eligible to autoconnect right away. Setting this flag, disables autoconnect until the connection is manually activated.

class NM.SettingsConnectionFlags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

Flags describing the current activation state.

New in version 1.12.

NONE = 0

an alias for numeric zero, no flags set.

UNSAVED = 1

the connection is not saved to disk. That either means, that the connection is in-memory only and currently is not backed by a file. Or, that the connection is backed by a file, but has modifications in-memory that were not persisted to disk.

NM_GENERATED = 2

A connection is “nm-generated” if it was generated by NetworkManger. If the connection gets modified or saved by the user, the flag gets cleared. A nm-generated is also unsaved and has no backing file as it is in-memory only.

VOLATILE = 4

The connection will be deleted when it disconnects. That is for in-memory connections (unsaved), which are currently active but deleted on disconnect. Volatile connections are always unsaved, but they are also no backing file on disk and are entirely in-memory only.

EXTERNAL = 8

the profile was generated to represent an external configuration of a networking device.

New in version 1.26.

class NM.SettingsUpdate2Flags(value)

Bases: GObject.GFlags

New in version 1.12.

NONE = 0

an alias for numeric zero, no flags set.

TO_DISK = 1

to persist the connection to disk.

VOLATILE = 16

This can be specified with either NM.SettingsUpdate2Flags.IN_MEMORY, NM.SettingsUpdate2Flags.IN_MEMORY_DETACHED or NM.SettingsUpdate2Flags.IN_MEMORY_ONLY. After making the connection in-memory only, the connection is marked as volatile. That means, if the connection is currently not active it will be deleted right away. Otherwise, it is marked to for deletion once the connection deactivates. A volatile connection cannot autoactivate again (because it’s about to be deleted), but a manual activation will clear the volatile flag.

IN_MEMORY = 2

makes the profile in-memory. Note that such profiles are stored in keyfile format under /run. If the file is already in-memory, the file in /run is updated in-place. Otherwise, the previous storage for the profile is left unchanged on disk, and the in-memory copy shadows it. Note that the original filename of the previous persistent storage (if any) is remembered. That means, when later persisting the profile again to disk, the file on disk will be overwritten again. Likewise, when finally deleting the profile, both the storage from /run and persistent storage are deleted (or if the persistent storage does not allow deletion, and nmmeta file is written to mark the UUID as deleted).

BLOCK_AUTOCONNECT = 32

usually, when the connection has autoconnect enabled and is modified, it becomes eligible to autoconnect right away. Setting this flag, disables autoconnect until the connection is manually activated.

IN_MEMORY_DETACHED = 4

this is almost the same as NM.SettingsUpdate2Flags.IN_MEMORY, with one difference: when later deleting the profile, the original profile will not be deleted. Instead a nmmeta file is written to /run to indicate that the profile is gone. Note that if such a nmmeta tombstone file exists and hides a file in persistent storage, then when re-adding the profile with the same UUID, then the original storage is taken over again.

NO_REAPPLY = 64

when a profile gets modified that is currently active, then these changes don’t take effect for the active device unless the profile gets reactivated or the configuration reapplied. There are two exceptions: by default “connection.zone” and “connection.metered” properties take effect immediately. Specify this flag to prevent these properties to take effect, so that the change is restricted to modify the profile.

New in version 1.20.

IN_MEMORY_ONLY = 8

this is like NM.SettingsUpdate2Flags.IN_MEMORY, but if the connection has a corresponding file on persistent storage, the file will be deleted right away. If the profile is later again persisted to disk, a new, unused filename will be chosen.

class NM.TeamLinkWatcherArpPingFlags(value)
