    typedef enum {
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_NONE = 0,
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_ENABLE_DISABLE_NETWORK = 1,
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_ENABLE_DISABLE_WIFI = 2,

    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_LAST = NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_SETTINGS_MODIFY_HOSTNAME
    } NMClientPermission;

NMClientPermission values indicate various permissions that NetworkManager clients can obtain to perform certain tasks on behalf of the current user.

`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_NONE` | unknown or no permission
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_ENABLE_DISABLE_NETWORK` | controls whether networking can be globally enabled or disabled
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_ENABLE_DISABLE_WIFI` | controls whether WiFi can be globally enabled or disabled
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_ENABLE_DISABLE_WWAN` | controls whether WWAN (3G) can be globally enabled or disabled
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_ENABLE_DISABLE_WIMAX` | controls whether WiMAX can be globally enabled or disabled
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_SLEEP_WAKE` | controls whether the client can ask NetworkManager to sleep and wake
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_NETWORK_CONTROL` | controls whether networking connections can be started, stopped, and changed
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_WIFI_SHARE_PROTECTED` | controls whether a password protected WiFi hotspot can be created
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_WIFI_SHARE_OPEN` | controls whether an open WiFi hotspot can be created
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_SETTINGS_MODIFY_SYSTEM` | controls whether connections that are available to all users can be modified
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_SETTINGS_MODIFY_OWN` | controls whether connections owned by the current user can be modified
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_SETTINGS_MODIFY_HOSTNAME` | controls whether the persistent hostname can be changed
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_LAST` | a reserved boundary value

### enum NMClientPermissionResult

    typedef enum {
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_UNKNOWN = 0,
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_YES,
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_AUTH,
    	NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_NO
    } NMClientPermissionResult;

NMClientPermissionResult values indicate what authorizations and permissions the user requires to obtain a given NMClientPermission

`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_UNKNOWN` | unknown or no authorization
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_YES` | the permission is available
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_AUTH` | authorization is necessary before the permission is available
`NM_CLIENT_PERMISSION_RESULT_NO` | permission to perform the operation is denied by system policy

### NMClient

    typedef struct _NMClient NMClient;

### NMClientClass

    typedef struct {
    	NMObjectClass parent;

    	/* Signals */
    	void (*device_added) (NMClient *client, NMDevice *device);
    	void (*device_removed) (NMClient *client, NMDevice *device);
    	void (*permission_changed) (NMClient *client,
    	                            NMClientPermission permission,

    	void (*_reserved4) (void);
    	void (*_reserved5) (void);
    	void (*_reserved6) (void);
    } NMClientClass;

### nm_client_new ()

    NMClient *          nm_client_new                       (void);

Creates a new NMClient.

Note that this will do blocking D-Bus calls to initialize the client. You can use `nm_client_new_async()` if you want to avoid that.

NOTE: NMClient provides information about devices and a mechanism to control them. To access and modify network configuration data, use the NMRemoteSettings object.

Returns : | a new NMClient

### nm_client_new_async ()

    void                nm_client_new_async                 (GCancellable *cancellable,
                                                             GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

Creates a new NMClient and begins asynchronously initializing it. `callback` will be called when it is done; use `nm_client_new_finish()` to get the result.

NOTE: NMClient provides information about devices and a mechanism to control them. To access and modify network configuration data, use the NMRemoteSettings object.

`cancellable` : | a GCancellable, or `NULL`
`callback` : | callback to call when the client is created
`user_data` : | data for `callback`

### nm_client_new_finish ()

    NMClient *          nm_client_new_finish                (GAsyncResult *result,
                                                             GError **error);

Gets the result of an `nm_client_new_async()` call.

`result` : | a GAsyncResult
`error` : | location for a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | a new NMClient, or `NULL` on error

### nm_client_get_devices ()

    const GPtrArray *   nm_client_get_devices               (NMClient *client);

Gets all the known network devices. Use `nm_device_get_type()` or the `NM_IS_DEVICE_XXXX()` functions to determine what kind of device member of the returned array is, and then you may use device-specific methods such as `nm_device_ethernet_get_hw_address()`.

`client` : | a NMClient
