The Connection Manager API provides functions for managing data connections.

Required Header

#include <net_connection.h>

Overview

To use Connection Manager API, first create a connection handle using connection_create(). After that, you can obtain network information. You should destroy the created connection handle if you do not need it anymore. This API is related with libsoup and sockets. It allows you to create a socket on the kernel Linux stack, which can be used directly or by libsoup or any other network library.
