### nm_setting_bond_new ()

    NMSetting *         nm_setting_bond_new                 (void);

Creates a new NMSettingBond object with default values.

### nm_setting_bond_get_interface_name ()

    const char *        nm_setting_bond_get_interface_name  (NMSettingBond *setting);

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
Returns : | the "interface-name" property of the setting

### nm_setting_bond_get_num_options ()

    guint32             nm_setting_bond_get_num_options     (NMSettingBond *setting);

Returns the number of options that should be set for this bond when it is activated. This can be used to retrieve each option individually using `nm_setting_bond_get_option()`.

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
Returns : | the number of bonding options

### nm_setting_bond_get_option ()

    gboolean            nm_setting_bond_get_option          (NMSettingBond *setting,
                                                             guint32 idx,
                                                             const char **out_name,
                                                             const char **out_value);

Given an index, return the value of the bonding option at that index. Indexes are *not* guaranteed to be static across modifications to options done by `nm_setting_bond_add_option()` and `nm_setting_bond_remove_option()`, and should not be used to refer to options except for short periods of time such as during option iteration.

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
`idx` : | index of the desired option, from 0 to `nm_setting_bond_get_num_options()` - 1
`out_name` : | on return, the name of the bonding option; this value is owned by the setting and should not be modified. [out]
`out_value` : | on return, the value of the name of the bonding option; this value is owned by the setting and should not be modified. [out]
Returns : | `TRUE` on success if the index was valid and an option was found, `FALSE` if the index was invalid (ie, greater than the number of options currently held by the setting)

### nm_setting_bond_get_option_by_name ()

    const char *        nm_setting_bond_get_option_by_name  (NMSettingBond *setting,
                                                             const char *name);

Returns the value associated with the bonding option specified by `name`, if it exists.

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
`name` : | the option name for which to retrieve the value
Returns : | the value, or `NULL` if the key/value pair was never added to the setting; the value is owned by the setting and must not be modified

### nm_setting_bond_add_option ()

    gboolean            nm_setting_bond_add_option          (NMSettingBond *setting,
                                                             const char *name,
                                                             const char *value);

Add an option to the table. The option is compared to an internal list of allowed options. Option names may contain only alphanumeric characters (ie [a-zA-Z0-9]). Adding a new name replaces any existing name/value pair that may already exist.

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
`name` : | name for the option
`value` : | value for the option
Returns : | `TRUE` if the option was valid and was added to the internal option list, `FALSE` if it was not.

### nm_setting_bond_remove_option ()

    gboolean            nm_setting_bond_remove_option       (NMSettingBond *setting,
                                                             const char *name);

Remove the bonding option referenced by `name` from the internal option list.

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
`name` : | name of the option to remove
Returns : | `TRUE` if the option was found and removed from the internal option list, `FALSE` if it was not.

### nm_setting_bond_get_valid_options ()

    const char **       nm_setting_bond_get_valid_options   (NMSettingBond *setting);

Returns a list of valid bond options.

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
Returns : | a `NULL`-terminated array of strings of valid bond options. [transfer none]

### nm_setting_bond_get_option_default ()

    const char *        nm_setting_bond_get_option_default  (NMSettingBond *setting,
                                                             const char *name);

`setting` : | the NMSettingBond
`name` : | the name of the option
Returns : | the value of the bond option if not overridden by an entry in the "options" property.

## Property Details

### The `"interface-name"` property

      "interface-name"           gchar*                : Read / Write

The name of the virtual in-kernel bonding network interface

Default value: NULL

### The `"options"` property

      "options"                  GHashTable_gchararray+gchararray_*  : Read / Write

Dictionary of key/value pairs of bonding options. Both keys and values must be strings. Option names must contain only alphanumeric characters (ie, [a-zA-Z0-9]).
