Does the network-manager snap provide a dbus slot so that my app can control it directly? Right now I’m bundling network manager into my snap, but that seems a little unnecessary. I’d rather just send it commands over dbus.
The slot name + some examples would be appreciated. I can’t find any info on it.
Is there something you want to do that connecting to the existing network-manager slot doesn’t allow?
The NM snap provides a plug that can be used by other application (and “implements” a slot). What you would need in your application is to connect to NM’s plug (network-manager interface). An example of that: https://git.launchpad.net/~snappy-hwe-team/snappy-hwe-snaps/+git/wifi-ap/tree/snapcraft.yaml#n33 .
That will let you send dBus messages from your application to the NM daemon installed by the network-manager snap.
