Service hierarchy
=================

Service		net.connman
Interface	net.connman.Service
Object path	[variable prefix]/{service0,service1,...}

Methods		dict GetProperties()  [deprecated]

			Returns properties for the service object. See
			the properties section for available properties.

			Usage of this method is highly discouraged. Use
			the Manager.GetServices() method instead.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

		void SetProperty(string name, variant value)

			Changes the value of the specified property. Only
			properties that are listed as read-write are
			changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
			will be emitted.

			Properties cannot be set for hidden WiFi service
			entries or provisioned services.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.InvalidProperty

		void ClearProperty(string name)

			Clears the value of the specified property. Only
			the readonly Error property can be cleared using
			this method call. When cleared the service is reset
			to the idle state.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidProperty

		void Connect()

			Connect this service. It will attempt to connect
			WiFi or Bluetooth services.

			For Ethernet devices this method can only be used
			if it has previously been disconnected. Otherwise
			the plugging of a cable will trigger connecting
			automatically. If no cable is plugged in this method
			will fail.

			This method call will only return in case of an
			error or when the service is fully connected. So
			setting a longer D-Bus timeout might be a really
			good idea.

			Calling Connect() on a hidden WiFi service entry will
			query the missing SSID via the Agent API causing a
			WiFi service with the given SSID to be scanned,
			created and connected.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

		void Disconnect()

			Disconnect this service. If the service is not
			connected an error message will be generated.

			On Ethernet devices this will disconnect the IP
			details from the service. It will not magically
			unplug the cable. When no cable is plugged in this
			method will fail.

			This method can also be used to abort a previous
			connection attempt via the Connect method.

			Hidden WiFi service entries cannot be disconnected
			as they always stay in idle state.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

		void Remove()

			A successfully connected service with Favorite=true
			can be removed this way. If it is connected, it will
			be automatically disconnected first.

			If the service requires a passphrase it will be
			cleared and forgotten when removing.

			This is similar to setting the Favorite property
			to false, but that is currently not supported.

			In the case a connection attempt failed and the
			service is in the state "failure", "idle" or
			"disconnect", this method can also be used
			to reset the service.

			Calling this method on Ethernet devices, hidden WiFi
			services or provisioned services will cause an error
			message. It is not possible to remove these kind of
			services.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

		void MoveBefore(object service)

			If a service has been used before, this allows a
			reorder of the favorite services.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

		void MoveAfter(object service)

			If a service has been used before, this allows a
			reorder of the favorite services.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments

		void ResetCounters()  [experimental]

			Reset the counter statistics.

			Possible Errors: None

Signals		PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)

			This signal indicates a changed value of the given
			property.

Properties	string State [readonly]

			The service state information.

			Valid states are "idle", "failure", "association",
			"configuration", "ready", "disconnect" and "online".

			The "ready" state signals a successfully
			connected device. "online" signals that an
			Internet connection is available and has been
			verified.

			See doc/overview-api.txt for more information about
			state transitions.

		string Error [readonly]

			The service error status details.

			When error occur during connection or disconnection
			the detailed information is represented in this
			property to help the user interface to present the
			user with alternate options.

			This property is only valid when the service is in
			the "failure" state. Otherwise it might be empty or
			not present at all.

			Currently defined error codes are: "out-of-range",
			"pin-missing", "dhcp-failed", "connect-failed",
			"login-failed", "auth-failed", "invalid-key",
			"blocked", and "online-check-failed".

		string Name [readonly]

			The service name (for example "Wireless" etc.)

			This name can be used for directly displaying it in
			the application. It has pure informational purpose
			and no attempt should be made to translate it.

			For Ethernet devices and hidden WiFi networks this
			property is not present.

		string Type [readonly]

			The service type (for example "ethernet", "wifi" etc.)

			This information should only be used to determine
			advanced properties or showing the correct icon
			to the user.

			Together with a missing Name property, this can
			be used to identify hidden WiFi networks.

		array{string} Security [readonly]

			If the service type is WiFi, then this property is
			present and contains the list of security methods
			or key management settings.

			Possible values are "none", "wep", "psk", "ieee8021x",
			and also "wps" and "wps_advertising".

			Value "wps" means that the service supports WPS. A
			service advertising itself as WPS registrar contains
			the additional value "wps_advertising" for as long as
			it is advertising. That is, while "wps_advertising" is
			listed, WPS is active and it should be possible to
			connect to the corresponding service via WPS.

			This property might be only present for WiFi
			services.

		uint8 Strength [readonly]

			Indicates the signal strength of the service. This
			is a normalized value between 0 and 100.

			This property will not be present for Ethernet
			devices.

		boolean Favorite [readonly]

			Will be true if a cable is plugged in or the user
			selected and successfully connected to this service.

			This value is automatically changed and to revert
			it back to false the Remove() method needs to be
			used.

		boolean Immutable [readonly]

			This value will be set to true if the service is
			configured externally via a configuration file.

			The only valid operations are Connect(), Disconnect()
			and changing the AutoConnect property. The Remove()
			method will result in an error.

		boolean AutoConnect [readwrite]

			If set to true, this service will auto-connect
			when no other connection is available.

			The service won't auto-connect while roaming.

			For favorite services it is possible to change
			this value to prevent or permit automatic
			connection attempts.

		boolean Roaming [readonly]

			This property indicates if this service is roaming.

			In the case of Cellular services this normally
			indicates connections to a foreign provider when
			traveling abroad.

		array{string} Nameservers [readonly]

			The list of currently active nameservers for this
			service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE
			state than this list will be empty.

			Global nameservers are automatically added to this
			list. The array represents a sorted list of the
			current nameservers. The first one has the highest
			priority and is used by default.

			When using DHCP this array represents the nameservers
			provided by the network. In case of manual settings,
			the ones from Nameservers.Configuration are used.

		array{string} Nameservers.Configuration [readwrite]

			The list of manually configured domain name
			servers. Some cellular networks don't provide
			correct name servers and this allows for an
			override.

			This array is sorted by priority and the first
			entry in the list represents the nameserver with
			the highest priority.

			When using manual configuration and no global
			nameservers are configured, then it is useful
			to configure this setting.

			Changes to the domain name servers can be done
			at any time. It will not cause a disconnect of
			the service. However there might be small window
			where name resolution might fail.

		array{string} Timeservers [readonly]

			The list of currently active timeservers for this
			service. If the server is not in READY or ONLINE
			state than this list will be empty.

		array{string} Timeservers.Configuration [readwrite]

			The list of manually configured time servers.

			The first entry in the list represents the
			timeserver with the highest priority.

			When using manual configuration this setting
			is useful to override all the other timeserver
			settings. This is service specific, hence only
			the values for the default service are used.

			Changes to this property will result in restart
			of NTP query.

		array{string} Domains [readonly]

			The list of currently used search domains taken
			from Domains.Configurations if set, otherwise a
			domain name if provided by DHCP or VPNs.

		array{string} Domains.Configuration [readwrite]

			The list of manually configured search domains.

		dict IPv4 [readonly]

			string Method [readonly]

				Possible values are "dhcp", "manual", "auto"
				and "off".

				It could be "auto" in case address was got
				through IPv4LL after DHCP failed. In this
				case also IPv4.Configuration will become
				"auto" to allow user to ask for a DHCP
				address at any time.

				The value "fixed" indicates an IP address
				that can not be modified. For example
				cellular networks return fixed information.

			string Address [readonly]

				The current configured IPv4 address.

				The current configured IPv4 netmask.

			string Gateway [readonly]

				The current configured IPv4 gateway.

		dict IPv4.Configuration [readwrite]

			Same values as IPv4 property. The IPv4 represents
			the actual system configuration while this allows
			user configuration.

			Changing these settings will cause a state change
			of the service. The service will become unavailable
			until the new configuration has been successfully
			installed.

		dict IPv6 [readonly]

			string Method [readonly]

				Possible values are "auto", "manual", "6to4"
				and "off".

				The value "fixed" indicates an IP address
				that can not be modified. For example
				cellular networks return fixed information.
				The value "6to4" is returned if 6to4 tunnel
				is created by connman. The tunnel can only be
				created if method was set to "auto" by the
				user. User cannot set the method to "6to4".

			string Address [readonly]

				The current configured IPv6 address.

				is disabled and normal autoconf addresses are
				used.

				Value "enabled" means that privacy extension is
				enabled and system prefers to use public
				addresses over temporary addresses.

				Value "prefered" means that privacy extension is
				enabled and system prefers temporary addresses
				over public addresses.

				Default value is "disabled".

		dict IPv6.Configuration [readwrite]

			Same values as IPv6 property. The IPv6 represents

			installed.

		dict Proxy [readonly]

			string Method [readonly]

				Possible values are "direct", "auto" and
				"manual".

				In case of "auto" method, the URL file can be
				provided unless you want to let DHCP/WPAD
				auto-discover to be tried. In such case if DHCP
				and WPAD auto-discover methods fails then
				method will be "direct".

				In case of "direct" no additional information
				are provided. For the "manual" method the
				Servers have to be set, Excludes is optional.

			string URL [readonly]

				Automatic proxy configuration URL. Used by
				"auto" method.

			array{string} Servers [readonly]

				Used when "manual" method is set.

				List of proxy URIs. The URI without a protocol

				be like this: "server.example.com:911".

			array{string} Excludes [readonly]

				Used when "manual" method is set.

				List of hosts which can be accessed directly.

		dict Proxy.Configuration [readwrite]

			Same values as Proxy property. The Proxy represents
