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.
