A connection is "nm-generated" if it was generated by NetworkManger. If the connection gets modified or saved by the user, the flag gets cleared. A nm-generated is also unsaved and has no backing file as it is in-memory only.
an alias for numeric zero, no flags set.
the connection is not saved to disk. That either means, that the connection is in-memory only and currently is not backed by a file. Or, that the connection is backed by a file, but has modifications in-memory that were not persisted to disk.
The connection will be deleted when it disconnects. That is for in-memory connections (unsaved), which are currently active but deleted on disconnect. Volatile connections are always unsaved, but they are also no backing file on disk and are entirely in-memory only.
Flags describing the current activation state.
