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                'ALLOWLIST-ONLY'
29                       Only  devices  or ports explicitly allowlisted with the
30                       'ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS' udev tag are probed.
31
32                'STRICT'
33                       Only the TTY ports that are heuristically determined to
34                       be very likely to be modem ports are probed. Nay end up
35                       ignoring some devices.
36
37       --no-auto-scan
38              Fully disable udev-based auto-scan looking for devices.
39
40       --initial-kernel-events=<filename>
41              Specify location of the file where the list  of  initial  kernel
42              events  is  available. The ModemManager daemon will process this
43              file on startup.
44
45       --debug
46              Runs ModemManager with "DEBUG" log level and  without  daemoniz‐
47              ing.  This  is useful for debugging, as it directs log output to
48              the controlling terminal in addition to syslog.
49
50       -V, --version
51              Print the ModemManager software version and exit.
52
53       -h, --help
54              Show application options.

56

LOGGING OPTIONS

58       --log-level=<level>
59              Sets how much information ModemManager sends to the log destina‐
60              tion  (usually syslog's "daemon" facility). By default, only in‐
61              formational, warning, and error messages are logged. Given level
62              must be one of "ERR", "WARN", "INFO" or "DEBUG".
63
64       --log-file=<filename>
65              Specify  location  of  the file where ModemManager will dump its
66              log messages, instead of syslog.
67
68       --log-journal
69              Output log message to the systemd journal.
70
71       --log-timestamps
72              Include absolute timestamps in the log output.
73
74       --log-relative-timestamps
75              Include timestamps, relative to the start time of the daemon, in
76              the log output.
77
78

TEST OPTIONS

80       --test-session
81              Run  the  ModemManager  daemon in the Session bus instead of the
82              System bus.
83
84       --test-enable
85              Enable the Test DBus interface in the daemon.
86
87       --test-plugin-dir=[PATH]
88              Specify an alternate directory where the daemon should look  for
89              vendor plugins.
