Hi, add-connection adds a new profile. Basically, what `nmcli connection add ...` does. The example you refer to is about usage of libnm. So, the corresponding API is nm_remote_connection_update2() ([1]). This maps to the D-Bus call Update2 ([2]). This is what `nmcli connection modify ...` does. [1] https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/1.22/NMRemoteConnection.html#nm-remote-connection-update2 [2] https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/1.22/gdbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.Connection.html#gdbus-method-org-freedesktop-NetworkManager-Settings-Connection.Update2 As always, connection profiles in NetworkManager are really just a bunch of nested dictionaries, that is the plain settings. There is no further logic involved, just create a suitable profile. If you use libnm, you probably create the profile using the NMConnection and NMSetting types. These represent the nested dictionaries. After you modify a profile, you usually need to activate it so that your actual networking configuration (`nmcli device`, `ip link`) changes. best, Thomas
