APN command line : 'username' and 'user' are transposed

[Donald Mah]

Pertains to the following man page's Connection Management Commands section :
   https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/nmcli.1.html

Man page currently shows:

           type gsm [apn APN] [username user] [password passwd]

               apn
                   APN - GSM Access Point Name.

               user
                   user name.

               password
                   password.

           type cdma [username user] [password passwd]

               user
                   user name.

               password
                   password.

The man page should be corrected to show:

           type gsm [apn APN] [user username] [password passwd]

           type cdma [user username] [password passwd]

I suggest correcting the man page so it's correct for people trying to use this version of Ubuntu.

I see the last command line example at the following URL also shows "username" and "user" are transposed:

   https://ubuntu.com/core/docs/networkmanager/configure-cellular-connections

The page currently shows:

$ nmcli c add type gsm ifname <interface> con-name <name> apn <operator_apn> username <user> password <password> pin <PIN>

The page should show:

$ nmcli c add type gsm ifname <interface> con-name <name> apn <operator_apn> user <username> password <password> pin <PIN>

Thank you for your bug report, it seems like the page has been reworked in newer version and that isn't an issue anymore

The problem is that I was referring to the man pages for the embedded Ubuntu version on my devices. I saw the incorrect info in multiple places and lost a couple of days of online access until someone pointed out the mistake with the man pages. Just trying to help anyone else with the same situation.
