'Signal' interface

[Martin Anderseck]

Hi all,

I've ModemManager 1.0.0 running and wondered what has happened to the 
signal interface. On 21-08 Aleksander wrote that the branch was merged 
into git master but now I cannot find any options to retrieve the signal 
parameters. 

 $> sudo mmcli -m 0 --signal-setup=5 
only gives me "error: no actions specified".

So where can I find it now?

Thank you,
Martin
