  <chapter id="ref-dbus">
    <title>D-Bus API Reference</title>
    <para>
      This part documents the D-Bus interface used to access the
      NetworkManager daemon.

  <chapter id="ref-settings">
    <title>Network Configuration Setting Specification</title>
    <para>
      This part documents the properties and value types of each "Setting"
      object that composes the basic unit of NetworkManager configuration,
      the "Connection".  Each Connection object is simply a dictionary mapping
      setting names (like "wimax" or "bluetooth") to a dictionary of
      key/value pairs that represents each itself.

    <section id="secrets-flags">
      <title>Secret flag types</title>
      <para>
        Each secret property in a setting has an associated "flags" property
        that describes how to handle that secret.  The "flags" property is a
        bitfield that contains zero or more of the following values logically
        OR-ed together.

      <para>
        <itemizedlist>
          <listitem>
            <literal>0x0 (none)</literal> - the system is responsible for providing
            and storing this secret.
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
            <literal>0x1 (agent-owned)</literal> - a user-session secret agent
            is responsible for providing and storing this secret; when it is
            required, agents will be asked to provide it.
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
            <literal>0x2 (not-saved)</literal> - this secret should not be saved
            but should be requested from the user each time it is required. This
            flag should be used for One-Time-Pad secrets, PIN codes from
            hardware tokens, or if the user simply does not want to save the
            secret.
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
            <literal>0x4 (not-required)</literal> - in some situations it cannot
            be automatically determined that a secret is required or not.  This
            flag hints that the secret is not required and should not be
            requested from the user.
