check_virtual_device_compatibility

Description:

[ Version ( since = "0.9.10" ) ]
public bool check_virtual_device_compatibility (Type virtual_type, Type other_type)

Determines if a connection of type virtual_type can (in the general case) work with connections of type other_type.

If virtual_type is NM_TYPE_SETTING_VLAN, then this checks if other_type is a valid type for the parent of a VLAN.

If virtual_type is a "master" type (eg, NM_TYPE_SETTING_BRIDGE), then this checks if other_type is a valid type for a slave of that master.

Note that even if this returns true it is not guaranteed that every connection of type other_type is compatible with virtual_type; it may depend on the exact configuration of the two connections, or on the capabilities of an underlying device driver.

Parameters:

virtual_type	a virtual connection type
other_type	a connection type to test against `virtual_type`

Returns:

true or false
