Connman configuration file
Connman uses configuration files to provision existing services. Connman will be looking for its configuration files at /var/lib/connman/. Configuration file names must not include other characters than letters or numbers and must have a .config suffix.

Ex.      #cat /var/lib/connman/example.config
[global]
