Service		org.chromium.flimflam
Interface	org.chromium.flimflam.Service
Object path	[variable prefix]/{service0,service1,...}

Methods		dict GetProperties()

			Return the properties for the service object. See
			the Properties section for available properties.

		void SetProperty(string name, variant value)

			Change the value of the specified property. Only
			properties that are listed as read-write are
			changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
			will be emitted.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.InvalidProperty
					 [service].Error.InvalidService
					 [service].Error.InvalidPassphrase

		void ClearProperty(string name)

			Clear the value of the specified property. Only
			properties that are listed as read-write are
			changeable. On success a PropertyChanged signal
			will be emitted.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.InvalidProperty

		array{bool} ClearProperties(array{string} names)

			Clear the value of the specified properties.  Calls
			ClearProperty above on each of the property names
			and returns an array of boolean values indicating
			whether each ClearProperty attempt succeeded.

		void Connect()

			Initiate a connection for the specified service.

			For Ethernet devices this method can only be used
			if it has previously been disconnected. Otherwise
			the plugging of a cable automatically triggers
			a connection.  If no cable is plugged in this
			method will fail.

			If the requested service is already connected
			then this request is ignored and AlreadyConnected
			is returned.

			If the requested service is in the process of
			connecting then this request is ignored and
			InProgress is returned.

			If another service of the same type is connected or
			connecting then it is terminated before this request
			is handled.

                        If the requested service cannot, for reasons not
                        described above, be connected, OperationFailed is
                        returned.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.AlreadyConnected
					 [service].Error.InProgress
					 [service].Error.OperationAborted
					 [service].Error.InvalidService
					 [service].Error.OperationFailed

		void Disconnect()

			Disconnect a service. If the service is not
			connected or in the process of connecting an
			error message will be generated.

			For Ethernet devices this will remove all
			Layer 3 state and mark the associated network
			interface down.  If no cable is plugged in this
			request will fail.

			This method can also be used to abort a previous
			connection attempt via the Connect method.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
			                 [service].Error.OperationFailed

		void Remove()

			Disconnect and remove all recorded state of a
			service.  The service must have previously had
			a success connection so that the Favorite property
			is marked "true".

			This method is not permitted for Ethernet devices;
			it will generate a NotSupported error response.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
					 [service].Error.NotSupported

		void MoveBefore(object service)

			Silently ignored in shill.  Do not use.

		void MoveAfter(object service)

			Silently ignored in shill.  Do not use.

		void ActivateCellularModem(string carrier)

			Activate a cellular modem on the provided carrier.

			This method returns immediately.  The caller
			can either poll the Cellular.ActivationState
			property, or monitor the PropertyChanged
			signal to know when and if the
			ActivateCellularModem call succeeded.

			The correct carrier specific modem firmware
			must already be loaded before this method is
			called.

			If this method is called for a non-cellular
			service or on a service associated with a
			non-CDMA device, it will return a NotSupported
			error.

			If the device is already activated nothing is returned.
			but if the device needs to be activated an InProgress
			error is returned.

			Expected Result: [service].Error.InProgress
			Possible Errors: [service].Error.NotSupported

		void CompleteCellularActivation()

			Complete the activation of a cellular service that is
			being activated over a non-cellular network.  This
			method is called upon the completion of the online
			payment portal and performs the necessary checks
			to ensure the activation process has fully completed.

			This method returns immediately.  The caller
			can either poll the Cellular.ActivationState
			property, or monitor the PropertyChanged
			signal to know when and if the activation process
			has completed.

			If this method is called on a non-cellular service
			or on a cellular service that is not being activated
			over a non-cellular network, it will return a
			NotSupported error.

			If the cellular service is already activated or being
			activated, nothing is returned.

			Possible Errors: [service].Error.NotSupported

		dict GetLoadableProfileEntries()

			Return a dictionary of object_path -> string pairs
			which refer to the profile entries from the loaded
			profiles in the Manager that could possibly provide
			configuration for this service.  Each entry contains
			the DBus path of the profile and the string entry
			name (within that profile) that contains configuration
			for this service.  Callers can use each of these
			argument pairs to do a "GetEntry" call on each profile
			object.

Signals		PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)

			This signal indicates a changed value of the given
			property.

				     three digits are always the MCC, and
				     the following two or three digits are the
				     MNC.

		string Cellular.NetworkTechnology [readonly]

			(Cellular only) If the modem is registered on a

			plan.  The value of this property is a
			string -> string dictionary, which includes
			the following keys:

			"url"      The URL for the portal
			"method"   The HTTP method to use, "GET" or "POST"
			"postdata" If the method is POST then this key is
				   present and contains the postdata

		dict Cellular.APN [readwrite] [GSM only]

			(Cellular only) The APN to be used with a GSM
			carrier for making data connections. The value of
			this property is a string -> string dictionary,
			which must include at least the following key:

			There are three optional properties. The first is

			"network_id" The network ID (MCC/MNC pair) of the
			             network for which the APN should be used.
				     If not specified, then the network ID of
				     the currently registered network is used.

			The other two optional properties are "username"
			and "password", which, if specified, will be supplied
			to the connect operation on the modem along with the
			APN.

			When the APN is set using this method, it overrides
			any APN that may be associated with the specified
			network ID in the APN database. The APN setting is
			persistent across reboots.

			A user-specified APN may be cleared by clearing this
			property.

			The algorithm for connecting to GSM networks is as
			follows, stopping when a connection is succesfully
			established:
			1. Try the last APN that resulted in a successful
			   connection.
			2. Try the APN that was set from the Cellular.APN
			   property (if any).
			3. Try the list of APNs for the current provider one
			   at a time. The list comes from the mobile broadband
			   provider information database.
			4. As a last resort, try connecting without specifying
			   an APN.

			If all these steps fail, then the connect attempt fails.
			Whenever this property is set to establish a new APN to
			use, the remembered last-good-APN is cleared. The
			remembered last-good-APN is persistent across reboots.

		dict Cellular.LastGoodAPN [readonly] [GSM only]

			The current value of this property is readable in the
			"Provider" property of this service.

		string OpenVPN.StaticChallenge [writeonly]

			(VPN services of type OpenVPN only) Enable static
			challenge/response protocol.  See the
			"--static-challenge" option in the OpenVPN
			documentation.  The current value of this property
			is readable in the "Provider" property of this service.

		string OpenVPN.TLSAuth [writeonly]

			(VPN services of type OpenVPN only) If non-empty,
			passes this as the "--tls-auth" argument to OpenVPN.
			The current value of this property is readable in the
			"Provider" property of this service.

		string OpenVPN.TLSAuthContents [writeonly]

			(VPN services of type OpenVPN only) Creates a
			temporary file with the contents of this property
			and passes it to OpenVPN using the "--tls-auth"
			option.  The current value of this property
			is readable in the "Provider" property of this service.

		string OpenVPN.TLSRemote [writeonly]

			(VPN services of type OpenVPN only) Specifies
			the only X509 name that is allowed for the peer.  See
			the" --tls-remote" option in the OpenVPN
			documentation.  The current value of this property
			is readable in the "Provider" property of this service.

			(VPN services of type OpenVPN only) Specifies
			the username to be specified in authentication to
			the OpenVPN server.  The current value of this property
			is readable in the "Provider" property of this service.

		string OpenVPN.Verb [writeonly]

			(VPN services of type OpenVPN only) If non-empty,
			passes this as the "--verb" argument to OpenVPN,
			which sets the debug verbosity.  By default this
			value is set based on shill's debugging level for VPN.
			The current value of this property is readable in the
			"Provider" property of this service.

		string Passphrase [readwrite]

			If the service type is "wifi", then this property
			holds a passphrase used in setting up services of
			type "wep", "wpa", "rsn", "psk", or a private
			key password used in setting up services of
			type "802_1x".

			For "wep" services, this must contain the WEP
			key and, optionally, a key index.  Only 40-bit
			and 104-bit WEP keys are supported.  The WEP
			key can be formatted either as an ASCII string
			(5 or 13 characters), or as ASCII hex digits
			(10 or 26). When using ASCII hex digits, the
			key may optionally be preceded by "0x" or "0X".
			To specify an optional WEP key index, prepend
			the key with "0:", "1:", "2:" or "3:".  If no
			index is specified, 0 is used.

			By default this property is not included in get
			requests.  It may be present if a non-default
			security policy is configured and the client has
			"read secret" privileges.

			Note that no PropertyChanged signals are sent for
			this property. The PassphraseRequired property
			should be monitored instead.

		boolean PassphraseRequired [readonly]

			If the service type is "wifi", then this property
			indicates if a passphrase or key (for WEP) is required.

			If a passphrase has been set already or if no
			passphrase is needed, then this property will
			be set to false.

			UI clients may monitor this property for a
			PropertyChanged signals to prompt for a required
			passphrase or key.

                        [We will be supporting this soon for VPN]

		int32 Priority [readwrite]

			An optional value used to calculate the priority order
			of this service.  Priorities are between 1 to 100.
			Services with priorities are sorted ahead of services
			without.  Services with the same priority are ordered
			by other means such as service type and signal
			strength.

			By default services are not assigned a priority;
			clients must set one if they desire.  To remove an
			existing priority use the ClearProperty method.

		object Profile [readwrite]

			The object path of the associated Profile object.
			This may not be present if the Service object
			has not been written to a profile yet.

		string ProxyConfig [readwrite]

			An externalized json dictionary describing the proxy
                        configuration that can be stored on the service, and
                        modified by a user.
			Flimflam does not use this information for anything,
			but it is left available to the caller, and stored
			persistently.
			This property may be set by any client and will be
                        adopted by chrome during run-time.  If syntax of the
                        value is wrong, chrome will ignore this property during
                        runtime.
                        The value of this property is a string -> string
                        dictionary that includes the following keys. The final
                        string is a comma separated list of key-value pairs
                        enclosed by "{" and "}"; syntax of a key-value pair is:
                        <key>":"<value>. Example:
                        {"mode":"fixed-servers","server":"http=foopy:80"}

			"mode"
                            type of proxy that can be one of:
                            "direct" --
                              direct connection to network, other preferences
                              are ignored

                              (see below) or fall back to direct connection
                            "fixed_servers" --
                              manual configuration of one or more servers
                              to be used as proxy

			"pac_url"
                            URL for proxy .pac file (meaningful only if mode=
                            pac_script); scheme of URL must be specified

			"pac_mandatory"
                            indciate if a valid PAC script is mandatory
                            (meaningful only if mode=pac_script);
                            value is either true or false (without quotes), e.g.
                            "pac_mandatory":true;
                            if true, network traffic does not fall back to
                            direct connections in case the PAC script is not
                            available

			"server"
                            proxy server for manual configuration (meaningful
                            only if mode=fixed-servers); syntax is
                            [<proxy-scheme>"://"]<proxy-host>[":"<proxy-port>];
                            if the proxy to use depends on the scheme of the
                            URL, specify a semicolon separated list of :
                            <url-scheme>"="<proxy-uri>
                            for example:
                            - "http=foopy:80;ftp=foopy2" --
                              use HTTP proxy "foopy:80" for http:// URLs, and
                              HTTP proxy "foopy2:80" for ftp:// URLS
                            - "foopy:80" -- use HTTP proxy "foopy:80" for all
                              URLs
                            - "socks4://foopy" --
                              use SOCKS v4 proxy "foopy:80" for all URLs

			"bypass_list"
                            proxy bypass rules for manual configuration
                            (meaningful only if mode=fixed-servers); format
                            can be any one of the following:
                            1) [<url_scheme>"://"]<hostname_pattern>[":"<port>]
                               Match all hostnames that match the pattern
                               hostname_pattern which can be a substring of the
                               hostname with asterisks.
                               Examples: "foobar.com", "*foobar.com",
                               "*.foobar.com", "*foobar.com:99",
                               "https://x.*.y.com:99"
                            2) "."<hostname_suffix_pattern>[":"<port>]
                               Match a particular domain suffix.
                               Examples: ".google.com", ".com",
                               "http://.google.com"
                            3) [<scheme>"://"]<ip_literal>[":"<port>]
                               Match URLs that are IP address literals.
                               Conceptually this is the similar to (1), but with
                               special cases to handle IP literal
                               canonicalization. For example matching on
                               "[0:0:0::1]" would be the same as matching on
                               "[::1]" since the IPv6 canonicalization is done
                               internally.
                               Examples: "127.0.1", "[0:0::1]", "[::1]",
                               "http://[::1]:99"
                            4) <ip_literal>"/"<prefix_length_in_bits>
                               Match any URL that is to an IP literal that falls
                               in the given range. IP range is specified using
                               CIDR notation.
                               Examples: "192.168.1.1/16", "fefe:13::abc/33".
                            5)  "<local>"
                                Match local addresses; this is a literal string.
                                "<local>" matches one of: "127.0.0.1", "::1",
                                "localhost".

		string StaticIP.Address [readwrite]
		string StaticIP.Gateway [readwrite]
		int32 StaticIP.Mtu [readwrite]
		string StaticIP.NameServers [readwrite]
		string StaticIP.PeerAddress [readwrite]
		int32 StaticIP.Prefixlen [readwrite]

			The properties above can be set on a service to
			selectively override individual parameters received
			over DHCP or whatever default IP aquisition technique
			is used by the service.  The "StaticIP.NameServers"
			property should be a comma-separated list of IP
			addresses.

			Additionally, in services that use DHCP, if the
			"StaticIP.Address" and "StaticIP.Prefixlen"
			parameters are both set on a service, the service
			will be configured as soon as a link is established,
			in order to allow full static IP configuration.  A
			DHCP client will be launched in parallel, which, if
			successful, will provide values for any parameters
			that were not set statically.

			The IPConfig associated with the service (object
			path supplied in the "IPConfig" property above)
			will display the result of the merged network
			parameters.

		string SavedIP.Address [readonly]
		string SavedIP.Gateway [readonly]
		int32 SavedIP.Mtu [readonly]
		string SavedIP.NameServers [readonly]
		string SavedIP.PeerAddress [readonly]
		int32 SavedIP.Prefixlen [readonly]

			The properties above are set on a service to present
			the configuration that was recieved from the DHCP
			server prior to applying any "StaticIP.*" parameters
			during the most recent connection attempt.  All
			parameters are saved regardless of whether they were
			overridden.

			Note that if a "StaticIP.*" parameter is set on
			a service, but the service has not been re-connected,
			the IPConfig object will still contain the true
			value that the interface is set to.

		uint8 Strength [readonly]

			Indicates the signal strength of the service. This
			is a normalized value between 0 and 100.

			This property will not be present for Ethernet
			devices.

		string Type [readonly]

			This is additional data available about this service
			for use by the user interface.  This value is opaque
			and not used by shill.

		string WiFi.AuthMode [readonly]

			(WiFi only) If the service state is
			"configuration" or "ready", then this property
			will be present and contains the negotiated
			authentication method.

			There are too many possible values to enumerate here.
			The complete set depends on the capabilities of the
			associated WiFi supplicant.

		string WiFi.BSSID [readonly]

			(WiFi only) The BSSID of the associated AP.
			One can monitor this property for PropertyChanged
			signals to identify when roaming changes the
			current AP.

		boolean WiFi.HiddenSSID [readwrite]

			(WiFi only) If true, the associated WiFi network
			does not broadcast it's SSID in beacon frames.
			This property instructs shill to actively scan
			for this SSID.  This value is cleared when this
			service is removed from all active profiles.

		uint16 WiFi.Frequency [readonly]

			(WiFi only) The operating frequency in MHz of
			the Service. If the Service is connected, this
			is the frequency on which it is connected.
			Otherwise, this is the frequency of the best
			available BSS (roughly, AP) for this Service.

		array{uint16} WiFi.FrequencyList [readonly]

			(WiFi only) The operating frequencies in MHz of
			the Service. This lists all of the frequencies
			where this Service has recently been seen.

			This list is not necessarily complete, as:
			a) not all scans check every channel,
			b) an AP may not have responded in time, and
			c) some scan results may have expired from the
                           cache.
