NAME

       ConnMan - network management daemon

SYNOPSIS

       connmand [--version] | [--help]

       connmand   [--config=<filename>]  [--debug=<file1>:<file2>:...]  [--device=<interface1>,<interface2>,...]
       [--nodevice=<interface1>,<interface2>,..]                                [--wifi=<driver1>,<driver2>,...]
       [--plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...] [--noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...] [--nodaemon] [--nodnsproxy]

DESCRIPTION

       The  ConnMan  provides  a  daemon  for  managing  internet  connections  within devices running the Linux
       operating system. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to use as few resources as  possible.
       It  is  a  fully  modular system that can be extended, through plug-ins, to support all kinds of wired or
       wireless technologies.  Also, configuration methods, like DHCP and domain name resolving, are implemented
       using plug-ins.  The plug-in approach allows for easy adaption and modification for various use cases.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --version
              Print the ConnMan software version and exit.

       --help Print ConnMan's available options and exit.

       --config=<filename>
              Specify  configuration file to set up various settings for ConnMan.  If not specified, the default
              value of '<SYSCONFDIR>/connman/main.conf'  is  used;  where  <SYSCONFDIR>  is  dependent  on  your
              distribution (usually it's /etc).  See connman.conf(5) for more information on configuration file.
              The use of config file is optional and sane default values are used if config file is missing.

       --debug=<file1>:<file2>:...
              Sets how much information  ConnMan  sends  to  the  log  destination  (usually  syslog's  "daemon"
              facility).   If the file options are omitted, then debugging information from all the source files
              are printed. If file options are present, then  only  debug  prints  from  that  source  file  are
              printed.  Example: --debug=src/service.c:plugins/wifi.c

       --device=<interface1>,<interface2>,...
              Only manage these network interfaces. By default all network interfaces are managed.

       --nodevice=<interface1>,<interface2>,...
              Never manage these network interfaces.

       --plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
              Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.

       --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
              Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.

       --wifi=<driver1>,<driver2>,...
              Wifi  driver that WiFi/Supplicant should use. If omitted, then the value of "nl80211,wext" is used
              by default.

       --nodaemon
              Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging, and directs log output to the controlling terminal
              in addition to syslog.

       --nodnsproxy
              Do  not  act  as  a DNS proxy. By default ConnMan will direct all DNS traffic to itself by setting
              nameserver to 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf(5) file.  If this is not desired  and  you  want  that  all
              programs  call directly some DNS server, then you can use the --nodnsproxy option.  If this option
              is used, then ConnMan is not able to cache the DNS queries because the DNS traffic  is  not  going
              through ConnMan and that can cause some extra network traffic.
