DESCRIPTION
       The  comitup-cli  utility provides access to the comitup(8) D-Bus interface. It is intended to serve as a
       debug tool, and a source code example for connecting to the interface.

       If the comitup(8) service is not running, comitup-cli will immediately exit.

       Display:

       •   State

           The comitup states are HOTSPOT, CONNECTING, and CONNECTED.

           In the HOTSPOT mode, comitup creates a wifi hotspot with the name comitup-<nnnn>, where <nnnn>  is  a
           persistent 4-digit number.

           Once  in  HOTSPOT  mode,  the  system  will  occasionally  (~1/min)  cycle  through available defined
           connections, by transitioning to the CONNECTING mode. The  Access  Point  list  is  updated  by  this
           process. Any command issued by comitup-cli will cause the next timeout instance to be skipped.

           Once  a  connection  is  established,  the system will be in the CONNECTED mode. If the connection is
           lost, failed, or deleted, the system will transition back to the HOTSPOT state.

       •   Connection

           The ssid of the current active connection.

       •   Points

           While in the HOTSPOT mode, comitup-cli will list the currently-visible access points, by ssid. Access
           points with the strongest signal are sorted to the top of the list. The entries are numbered, for use
           with the connect command.

       Commands:

       •   r - Reload

           Refresh the displayed state, mode, and list of access points.

       •   q - Quit

           Exit comitup.cli.

       •   d - Delete connection

           Delete the configuration information for the current wifi connection.  This  will  cause  comitup  to
           transition to the HOTSPOT mode.

           This command is not available in the HOTSPOT mode.

       •   <n> - Connect to access point <n>

           Define a connection for the selected access point, and then attempt to connect.

           This command is only available in the HOTSPOT mode.

       •   m - Manual connection

           Enter an SSID manually.

       •   i - Get information

           Return the comitup version and host name for the current instance.
