+.SH NAME
+modem-manager \- modem management daemon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B modem-manager [\-\-version] | [\-\-help]
+.PP
+.B modem-manager [\-\-debug] [\-\-log\-level=<level>] [\-\-log\-file=<filename>] [\-\-timestamps] [\-\-relative\-timestamps]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The modem-manager (a.k.a. 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).
