NAME
connmanctl - Connman CLI
SYNOPSIS
connmanctl [ enable <technology> | offlinemode] [ disable <technology> | offlinemode] [ technologies] [
state] [ services [--properties <service>]] [ scan <technology>] [ connect <service>] [ config <service>
--<option> ARGS...] [ help | --help]
DESCRIPTION
Connmanctl is a Connman command line interface which can be run in two modes: a plain synchronous command
input, and an asynchronous interactive shell. To run a specific command the user may enter connmanctl
<command> [options] [args], or enter connmanctl; in this case, the program will drop into the interactive
shell.
Connmantl can handle most simple network connections. It is able to enable/ disable any technology that
exists on the system, display a list of services available, connect to/disconnect from any unsecured
networks, show properties of the system, the technologies, and any individual service, and configure all
of the properties. It is also able to monitor changes in the properties of the services, technologies,
and the system.
In the interactive shell, all of the same commands can be used. It provides quicker usage when needing to
use connmanctl more extensively.
COMMANDS AND OPTIONS
help | --help | (no arguments)
Shows the abbreviated help menu in the terminal.
enable <technology>
Enables the given technology type (e.g. ethernet, wifi, 3g, etc.) Turns power on to the
technology, but doesn't connect unless there is a service with autoconnect set to True.
disable <technology>
Disables the given technology type. Turns power off to the technology and disconnects if it is
already connected.
enable offlinemode
Enables offline mode. Disconnects and powers down all technologies system-wide, however each
technology can be powered back on individually.
disable offlinemode
Disables offline mode. Technologies are powered back on according to their individual policies.
technologies
Shows a list of all technology types existing on the system and their properties. See the
properties section of the Technology API for explanations of each property.
state Shows the system properties. Includes ths online state of the system, offline mode, and session
mode.
scan <technology>
Scans for new services on the given technology.
services
Shows a list of all available service names. This includes the names of wifi networks, the wired
ethernet connection, names of bluetooth devices, etc. These are the names used when a <service>
command is called for. The service name (e.g. Joes-wifi), the service path (e.g.
wifi_6834534139723_managed_none), or the full service path (e.g.
/net/connman/Service/wifi_5467631...) are all accepted as valid input. An asterisk in front of the
service indicates that the service is favorited, and a "C" indicates a service that is already
connected.
services --properties <service>
Shows a list of all properties for that service. See the properties section of the Service API for
explanations of each property.
connect <service>
Connects to the given service if it is unsecured.
disconnect <service>
Disconnects from the given service.
config <service> --<option>
Configures a writable property of the given service to the value(s) entered after --<option>.
monitor [--<option>]
Listens for and displays DBus signals sent by Connman. The option indicates which signals you want
to subscribe to. If no option is entered, it displays all signals from all interfaces.
Config Options:
--autoconnect=y/n
Sets the autoconnect property of the service.
--ipv4 Configures the IPv4 settings for the service. Enter the settings in the order "Method", "Address",
"Netmask", then "Gateway" after the argument. See the properties section of the Service API for
more information on these settings and the values accepted for them. It also displays a list of
changes to both the IPv4 settings, and incidental changes to other values related to it.
--ipv6 Configures the IPv6 settings for the service. Enter the settings in the order "Method", "Address",
"PrefixLength", "Gateway", then "Privacy". See the properties section of the Service API for more
information on these settings and the values accepted for them. It also displays a list of
entered changes to the IPv6 settings, and incidental changes to other values related to it.
--nameservers
Adds to the list of manually configured domain name servers. Enter the name servers after the
argument separated by spaces.
--timeservers
Adds to the list of manually configured time servers. Enter the time servers after the argument
separated by spaces.
--domains
Adds to the list of manually configured search domains. Enter the domains after the argument,
separated by spaces.
--proxy
Configures the IPv6 settings for the service. Enter the settings in the order "Method", "URL". If

serv1 serv2 serv3 excludes excl1 excl2"

service name (e.g. Joes-wifi) that the property is part of. More information, including a list of
possible properties can be found in the Service API.
--tech Listens for and displays the PropertyChanged signal from the Technology interface. More
information, including a list of possible properties can be found in the Technology API.
--manager
Listens for and displays the PropertyChanged, ServicesChanged, TechnologyAdded, and
TechnologyRemoved signals from the Manager interface. More information on these signals and a list
