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.
