NAME

       ModemManager - mobile broadband modem management daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ModemManager [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       ModemManager provides a unified high level API for communicating with mobile broadband modems, regardless
       of the protocol used to communicate with the actual device (Generic AT, vendor-specific  AT,  QCDM,  QMI,
       MBIM...).

       ModemManager is a DBus-based system daemon and is not meant to be used directly from the command line.

APPLICATION OPTIONS

       --filter-policy=<policy>
              Specify which ports are probed and how:

                'WHITELIST-ONLY'
                       Only devices or ports explicitly whitelisted with the 'ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS' udev tag are
                       probed.

                'DEFAULT'
                       All ports are allowed to be probed except for the ones  explicitly  greylisted  as  RS232
                       adapters or completely blacklisted.

                'STRICT'
                       Only  the  TTY ports that are heurstically determined to be very likely to be modem ports
                       are probed. Nay end up ignoring some devices.

                'PARANOID'
                       This is equivalent to running the STRICT mode but also applying the blacklist  and  RS232
                       greylist filters explicitly.

       --no-auto-scan
              Fully disable udev-based auto-scan looking for devices.

       --initial-kernel-events=<filename>
              Specify  location  of  the  file  where  the  list  of  initial  kernel  events  is available. The
              ModemManager daemon will process this file on startup.

       --debug
              Runs ModemManager with "DEBUG" log level and without daemonizing. This is useful for debugging, as
              it directs log output to the controlling terminal in addition to syslog.

       -V, --version
              Print the ModemManager software version and exit.

       -h, --help
              Show application options.

LOGGING OPTIONS

       --log-level=<level>
              Sets  how  much  information  ModemManager sends to the log destination (usually syslog's "daemon"
              facility). By default, only informational, warning, and error messages  are  logged.  Given  level
              must be one of "ERR", "WARN", "INFO" or "DEBUG".

       --log-file=<filename>
              Specify location of the file where ModemManager will dump its log messages, instead of syslog.

       --log-journal
              Output log message to the systemd journal.

       --log-timestamps
              Include absolute timestamps in the log output.

       --log-relative-timestamps
              Include timestamps, relative to the start time of the daemon, in the log output.

TEST OPTIONS

       --test-session
              Run the ModemManager daemon in the Session bus instead of the System bus.

       --test-enable
              Enable the Test DBus interface in the daemon.

       --test-plugin-dir=[PATH]
              Specify an alternate directory where the daemon should look for vendor plugins.
