Apologies for hijacking the thread, but I also have a need to write a C++ app to access certain MM 'status' info (IMIE, signal strength, etc). I can shell out to mmcli and awk/parse the response, but lib-based coding would probably be more 'correct'. I was struggling though to get to grips with how to use the MM/Glib APIs - are there any examples anywhere which will show me how to get started in connecting and then drilling down through the objects...? Thanks
