### nm_remote_connection_commit_changes ()

    gboolean
    nm_remote_connection_commit_changes (NMRemoteConnection *connection,
                                         gboolean save_to_disk,
                                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                                         GError **error);

Send any local changes to the settings and properties of `connection` to NetworkManager. If `save_to_disk` is `TRUE`, the updated connection will be saved to disk; if `FALSE`, then only the in-memory representation will be changed.

#### Parameters

connection | the NMRemoteConnection |
save_to_disk | whether to persist the changes to disk |
cancellable | a GCancellable, or `NULL` |
error | location for a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

`TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on error, in which case `error` will be set.

### nm_remote_connection_commit_changes_async ()

    void
    nm_remote_connection_commit_changes_async
                                   (NMRemoteConnection *connection,
                                    gboolean save_to_disk,

                                    gpointer user_data);

Asynchronously sends any local changes to the settings and properties of `connection` to NetworkManager. If `save` is `TRUE`, the updated connection will be saved to disk; if `FALSE`, then only the in-memory representation will be changed.

#### Parameters

connection | the NMRemoteConnection |
save_to_disk | whether to save the changes to persistent storage |
cancellable | a GCancellable, or `NULL` |
callback | callback to be called when the commit operation completes |
user_data | caller-specific data passed to `callback` |

                                    GError **error);

Gets the result of a call to `nm_remote_connection_commit_changes_async()`.

#### Parameters

#### Parameters

connection | the NMRemoteConnection |

### nm_remote_connection_get_unsaved ()

    gboolean
    nm_remote_connection_get_unsaved (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

#### Parameters

connection | the NMRemoteConnection |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the remote connection contains changes that have not been saved to disk, `FALSE` if the connection is the same as its on-disk representation.

### nm_remote_connection_get_visible ()

    gboolean
    nm_remote_connection_get_visible (NMRemoteConnection *connection);

Checks if the connection is visible to the current user. If the connection is not visible then it is essentially useless; it will not contain any settings, and operations such as `nm_remote_connection_save()` and `nm_remote_connection_delete()` will always fail. (NMRemoteSettings will not normally return non-visible connections to callers, but it is possible for a connection's visibility to change after you already have a reference to it.)

#### Parameters

connection | the NMRemoteConnection |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the remote connection is visible to the current user, `FALSE` if not.
