NAME

       ConnMan - network management daemon

SYNOPSIS

       connmand [--version|--help]

       connmand  [-c  file]  [-d [file[,...]]]  [-i  interface[,...]] [-I interface[,...]] [-W driver[,...]] [-p
       plugin[,...]] [-P plugin[,...]] [-n] [-r]

DESCRIPTION

       The ConnMan provides a daemon  for  managing  internet  connections  within  devices  running  the  Linux
       operating  system. 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.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -v, --version
              Print the ConnMan software version and exit.

       -h, --help
              Print ConnMan's available options and exit.

       -c file, --config=file
              Specify  configuration file to set up various settings for ConnMan.  If not specified, the default
              value  of  /etc/connman/main.conf  is  used.   See  connman.conf(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.

       -d [file[,...]], --debug[=file[,...]]
              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:

                  connmand --debug=src/service.c,plugins/wifi.c

       -i interface[,...], --device=interface[,...]
              Only manage these network interfaces. By default all network interfaces are managed.

       -I interface[,...], --nodevice=interface[,...]
              Never manage these network interfaces.

       -p plugin[,...], --plugin=plugin[,...]
              Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.

       -P plugin[,...], --noplugin=plugin[,...]
              Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.

       -W driver[,...], --wifi=driver[,...]
              Wifi   driver  that  WiFi/Supplicant  should  use.  If  this  flag  is  omitted,  then  the  value
              "nl80211,wext" is used by default.

       -n, --nobacktrace
              Don't print out backtrace information.

       -n, --nodaemon
              Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging, and directs log output to the controlling terminal
              in addition to syslog.

       -r, --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  resolv.conf(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.
