MODEMMANAGER(8)                        System Manager's Manual                       MODEMMANAGER(8)



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 com‐
       mand line.


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

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

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

       --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.
