NAME

       netctl-auto - Control automatic selection of wireless netctl profiles

SYNOPSIS

       netctl-auto {COMMAND} ...

       netctl-auto [--help | --version]

DESCRIPTION

       netctl-auto may be used to control the automatic network profile selection offered by the
       netctl-auto@.service file. See netctl.special(7) for details about the service file.

OPTIONS

       The following commands are understood:

       list
           List all profiles which are currently available for automatic selection. Active
           profiles will be marked with a ‘*’, disabled profiles will be marked with a ‘!’.

       switch-to [PROFILE]
           Switch to the network profile specified on the command line. The specified profile
           will be enabled if necessary, the state of all other profiles is not changed. This
           command does not force netctl-auto to use the specified profile. If a disconnect
           occurs, netctl-auto may select an alternative profile.

       is-active [PROFILE]
           Check whether the network profile specified on the command line is active. Prints the
           current state.

       enable [PROFILE]
           Enable a previously disabled network profile for automatic selection. Every time the
           netctl-auto service is started, all available profiles are enabled by default.

       disable [PROFILE]
           Disable the specified profile for automatic selection. This will only take effect
           until the netctl-auto service is stopped. To permanently exclude a profile from
           automatic selection, use the ExcludeAuto=yes option in the profile.

       enable-all
           Enable all profiles for automatic selection.

       disable-all
           Disable all profiles for automatic selection.

       is-enabled [PROFILE]
           Check whether the specified profile is enabled for the netctl-auto service that is
           currently running. Prints the current enable status.

       start [INTERFACE]
           Start automatic profile selection on the specified interface.

           This command should not be invoked directly, use the following command instead:

               systemctl start netctl-auto@<interface>

       stop [INTERFACE]
           Stop automatic profile selection on the specified interface. This will disconnect the
           currently active profile on the interface.

           This command should not be invoked directly, use the following command instead:

               systemctl stop netctl-auto@<interface>

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.

ENVIRONMENT

       $NETCTL_DEBUG
           If set to "yes", debugging output is generated.
