ModemManager) daemon provides a unified high level API +for communicating with (mobile broadband) modems. While the basic commands are +standardized, the more advanced operations (like signal quality monitoring +while connected) varies a lot. +.TP +ModemManager is a system daemon and is not meant to be used directly from the +command line. +.SH OPTIONS +The following options are supported: +.TP +.I "\-\-version" +Print the modem-manager software version and exit. +.TP +.I "\-\-help" +Print modem-manager's available options and exit. +.TP +.I "\-\-debug" +Runs modem-manager 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. +.TP +.I "\-\-log\-level=<level>" +Sets how much information modem-manager 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". +.TP +.I "\-\-log\-file=<filename>" +Specify location of the file where modem-manager will dump its log messages, +instead of syslog. +.TP +.I "\-\-timestamps" +Include absolute timestamps in the log output. +.TP +.I "\-\-relative-timestamps" +Include timestamps, relative to the start time of the daemon, in the log output. +.TP + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR NetworkManager (8). + |
