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 pro‐
       tocol 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=
	      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=
	      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=
	      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=
	      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.
