NetworkManager exposes a D-Bus API (which is lightweight IPC) like many services do these days on Linux. The wiki pages at: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager have a bunch of information about it. Python is actually the easiest to use with D-Bus, but you can also use C/C++ if you like. NM provides a helper library for GLib-based programs (http://www.gtk.org/features.html near the bottom in "Foundations") that hides most of the D-Bus complexity behind an object-based interface, but if you're new to both D-Bus and GLib that may not be the best approach. The is more information about C++ bindings for D-Bus available at: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus-c%2B%2B but the normal C bindings (libdbus) should also obviously work.

API for NM is to go through D-BUS IPC. See the archive of this list. You can use C/C++ with D-BUS. But you have the pain of using a low-level language, while waiving compile-time checks because of D-BUS. And I can hardly see any performance critical tasks here. Use another language maybe? ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Hi, all. Does network manager has C/C++ API similar to MS Windows - create config entry, dial this entry by network manager etc? ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
