The Connection Manager is +designed to be slim and to use as few resources as possible. +It is a fully modular system that can be extended, through plug-ins, +to support all kinds of wired or wireless technologies. +Also, configuration methods, like DHCP and domain name resolving, +are implemented using plug-ins. +The plug-in approach allows for easy adaption and modification for various +use cases. +.P +.SH OPTIONS +The following options are supported: +.TP +.I "\-\-version" +Print the ConnMan software version and exit. +.TP +.I "\-\-help" +Print ConnMan's available options and exit. +.TP +.I "\-\-config=<filename>" +Specify configuration file to set up various settings for ConnMan. If not +specified, the default value of '<SYSCONFDIR>/connman/main.conf' +is used; where <SYSCONFDIR> is dependent on your distribution (usually +it's /etc). See \fBconnman.conf\fP(5) for more information on configuration +file. The use of config file is optional and sane default values +are used if config file is missing. +.TP +.I "\-\-debug=<file1>:<file2>:..." +Sets how much information ConnMan sends to the log destination (usually +syslog's "daemon" facility). If the file options are omitted, then debugging +information from all the source files are printed. If file options are +present, then only debug prints from that source file are printed. +Example: --debug=src/service.c:plugins/wifi.c +.TP +.I "\-\-device=<interface1>,<interface2>,..." +Only manage these network interfaces. By default all network interfaces +are managed. +.TP +.I "\-\-nodevice=<interface1>,<interface2>,..." +Never manage these network interfaces. +.TP +.I "\-\-plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..." +Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing +"*" and "?" characters. +.TP +.I "\-\-noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..." +Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing +"*" and "?" characters. +.TP +.I "\-\-wifi=<driver1>,<driver2>,..." +Wifi driver that WiFi/Supplicant should use. If omitted, then the value +of "nl80211,wext" is used by default. +.TP +.I "\-\-nodaemon" +Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging, and directs log output to +the controlling terminal in addition to syslog. +.TP +.I "\-\-nodnsproxy" +Do not act as a DNS proxy. By default ConnMan will direct all DNS traffic +to itself by setting nameserver to 127.0.0.1 in \fBresolv.conf\fP(5) file. +If this is not desired and you want that all programs call directly some +DNS server, then you can use the --nodnsproxy option. +If this option is used, then ConnMan is not able to cache the DNS queries +because the DNS traffic is not going through ConnMan and that can cause +some extra network traffic. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR connman.conf (5). |
