This software is a command line tool and library that provides a way to configure networking on Linux machines. It's designed to make it easier for users to set up and manage their network connections.
NetCF is a software library that offers various functionalities to configure network interfaces. It is a command line tool that allows users to configure networks through the ncftool command line. NetCF is designed to be distribution-agnostic and supports multiple distributions to cater to users' needs.
NetCF sets up Ethernet interfaces, bridges, and bonds that are common to both libvirt and NetworkManager. It acts as a bridge between the two and implements what is needed by both of them.
The API for NetCF is simple to use and accepts an XML description of the overall interface you want. For a bridge configuration, the interface type, start mode, name, MTU size, DHCP, and bridge STP are described in XML format.
NetCF allows you to retrieve the XML description for any network interface on your system with ncf_if_xml_desc. The important point is that NetCF uses your distribution's 'native' network configuration mechanisms directly. It is possible to hand-edit those scripts or modify them with other programs without confusing NetCF.
Overall, NetCF is an excellent software library that simplifies network configuration and management. Its ability to support multiple distributions and operating systems make it user-friendly and easy to use.
