NAME

7       ModemManager - mobile broadband modem management daemon
8
9

SYNOPSIS

11       ModemManager [OPTION...]
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       ModemManager  provides  a unified high level API for communicating with
16       mobile broadband modems, regardless of the protocol used to communicate
17       with  the  actual  device  (Generic  AT, vendor-specific AT, QCDM, QMI,
18       MBIM...).
19
20       ModemManager is a DBus-based system daemon and is not meant to be  used
21       directly from the command line.

APPLICATION OPTIONS

25       --filter-policy=<policy>
26              Specify which ports are probed and how:
27
28                'WHITELIST-ONLY'
29                       Only  devices  or ports explicitly whitelisted with the
30                       'ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS' udev tag are probed.
31
32                'DEFAULT'
33                       All ports are allowed to be probed except for the  ones
34                       explicitly  greylisted  as RS232 adapters or completely
35                       blacklisted.
36
37                'STRICT'
38                       Only the TTY ports that are heurstically determined  to
39                       be very likely to be modem ports are probed. Nay end up
40                       ignoring some devices.
41
42                'PARANOID'
43                       This is equivalent to running the STRICT mode but  also
44                       applying  the  blacklist  and  RS232  greylist  filters
45                       explicitly.
46
47       --no-auto-scan
48              Fully disable udev-based auto-scan looking for devices.
49
50       --initial-kernel-events=<filename>
51              Specify location of the file where the list  of  initial  kernel
52              events  is  available. The ModemManager daemon will process this
53              file on startup.
54
55       --debug
56              Runs ModemManager with "DEBUG" log level and  without  daemoniz‐
57              ing.  This  is useful for debugging, as it directs log output to
58              the controlling terminal in addition to syslog.
59
60       -V, --version
61              Print the ModemManager software version and exit.
62
63       -h, --help
64              Show application options.
65
66

LOGGING OPTIONS

68       --log-level=<level>
69              Sets how much information ModemManager sends to the log destina‐
70              tion  (usually  syslog's  "daemon"  facility).  By default, only
71              informational, warning, and error  messages  are  logged.  Given
72              level must be one of "ERR", "WARN", "INFO" or "DEBUG".
73
74       --log-file=<filename>
75              Specify  location  of  the file where ModemManager will dump its
76              log messages, instead of syslog.
77
78       --log-journal
79              Output log message to the systemd journal.
80
81       --log-timestamps
82              Include absolute timestamps in the log output.
83
84       --log-relative-timestamps
85              Include timestamps, relative to the start time of the daemon, in
86              the log output.
87
88

TEST OPTIONS

90       --test-session
91              Run  the  ModemManager  daemon in the Session bus instead of the
92              System bus.
93
94       --test-enable
95              Enable the Test DBus interface in the daemon.
96
97       --test-plugin-dir=[PATH]
98              Specify an alternate directory where the daemon should look  for
99              vendor plugins.
