NAME
       netctl - Control the netctl network profile manager

SYNOPSIS
       netctl {COMMAND} [PROFILE]

       netctl [--help | --version]

DESCRIPTION
       netctl may be used to introspect and control the state of the systemd
       services for the network profile manager.

OPTIONS
       The following commands are understood:

       list
	   List all available profiles. Active profiles will be marked with a
	   ‘*’.

       store
	   Saves which profiles are currently active.

       restore
	   Loads the profiles that were active during the last invocation of
	   ‘store’.

       stop-all
	   Stops all active network profiles.

       start [PROFILE]
	   Start the network profile specified on the command line.

       stop [PROFILE]
	   Stop the network profile specified on the command line.

       restart [PROFILE]
	   Restart the network profile specified on the command line. If it is
	   not started yet, it will be started.

       switch-to [PROFILE]
	   Starts the network profile specified on the command line after
	   stopping all profiles that refer to the same interface.

       status [PROFILE]
	   Show terse runtime status information about a profile, followed by
	   its most recent log data from the journal.

       enable [PROFILE]
	   Enable the systemd unit for the profile specified. This will create
	   a unit configuration file. If the file already exists, the command
	   fails. No other profiles than the one specified will be enabled.
	   Changes to the general options in a profile specification will not
	   propagate to the unit configuration file automatically. After such
	   changes, it is necessary to ‘reenable’ the profile.

       disable [PROFILE]
	   Disable the systemd unit for the profile specified. This will
	   remove the file created by ‘enable’ even if it was customized, so
	   be careful.

       reenable [PROFILE]
	   Reenable the systemd unit for the profile specified. This is
	   effectively a combination of ‘disable’ and ‘enable’.

EXIT STATUS
       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.

ENVIRONMENT
       $NETCTL_DEBUG
	   If set to "yes", debugging output is generated.

       $NETCTL_STATE_FILE
	   The location of the state file. Defaults to
	   /var/lib/netctl/netctl.state.
