  To prevent iwd from scanning continuously while not connected, add the
  following lines.

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |                                                                            |

  To prevent iwd from destroying / recreating wireless interfaces at startup,
  add the following line to [General].

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |                                                                            |

--[005] Connecting To Networks -------------------------------------------------

  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |                                                                            |
  |  $ printf 'password\n' | iwd_passphrase ssid                               |
  |                                                                            |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  |                                                                            |
  |  The iwd_passhprase tool prints its help messages to stderr. Run the tool  |
  |  once to get information and a second time with '> /var/lib/iwd/FILE' to   |
  |  save it directly.                                                         |
  |                                                                            |
  +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  The iwd daemon watches the /var/lib/iwd directory for changes to network
  configs. When it detects creation of a config, it will at once become aware
  of it. Other filesystem operations changes behavior as well.
