+ <abstract>
+ <para>
+ This manual is the reference documentation for NetworkManager, the standard
+ Linux network management service. It is intended for system administrators and
+ integrators who need to understand the capabilities of NetworkManager, its
+ configuration options, command line tools and the D-Bus API for programmatic
+ control of the service.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The end users NetworkManager should instead refer to respective documentation
+ of their desktop environment of choice.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The application developers who prefer not to use the D-Bus API directly can use the
+ <ulink url="https://developer.gnome.org/libnm/stable/">libnm</ulink> library
+ shipped with NetworkManager or its bindings to a higher level language such as
+ Python, Ruby or Vala via GObject introspection.
