RFCOMM(1) RFCOMM(1) NAME
rfcomm - RFCOMM configuration utility SYNOPSIS
rfcomm [ options ] < command > < dev > DESCRIPTION
rfcomm is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the RFCOMM configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. If no command is given, or if the option -a is used, rfcomm prints information about the configured RFCOMM devices. OPTIONS
-h Gives a list of possible commands. -a Prints information about all configured RFCOMM devices. -r Switch TTY into raw mode (doesn't work with "bind"). -f <file> Specify alternate config file. -i <hciX> | <bdaddr> The command is applied to device -A Enable authentication. -E Enable encryption. -S Secure connection. -M Become the master of a piconet. hciX , which must be the name or the address of an installed Bluetooth device. If not specified, the command will be use the first available Bluetooth device. -A Enable authentification -E Enable encryption -S Secure connection -M Become the master of a piconet -L <seconds> Set linger timeout COMMANDS
show <dev> Display the information about the specified device. connect <dev> [bdaddr] [channel] Connect the RFCOMM device to the remote Bluetooth device on the specified channel. If no channel is specified, it will use the chan- nel number 1. If also the Bluetooth address is left out, it tries to read the data from the config file. This command can be termi- nated with the key sequence CTRL-C. listen <dev> [channel] [cmd] Listen on a specified RFCOMM channel for incoming connections. If no channel is specified, it will use the channel number 1, but a channel must be specified before cmd. If cmd is given, it will be executed as soon as a client connects. When the child process ter- minates or the client disconnect, the command will terminate. Occurrences of {} in cmd will be replaced by the name of the device used by the connection. This command can be terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C. watch <dev> [channel] [cmd] Watch is identical to listen except that when the child process terminates or the client disconnect, the command will restart lis- tening with the same parameters. bind <dev> [bdaddr] [channel] This binds the RFCOMM device to a remote Bluetooth device. The command did not establish a connection to the remote device, it only creates the binding. The connection will be established right after an application tries to open the RFCOMM device. If no channel number is specified, it uses the channel number 1. If the Bluetooth address is also left out, it tries to read the data from the config file. If all is specified for the RFCOMM device, then all devices that have bind yes set in the config will be bound. release <dev> This command releases a defined RFCOMM binding. If all is specified for the RFCOMM device, then all bindings will be removed. This command didn't care about the settings in the config file. AUTHOR

hcitool - configure Bluetooth connections SYNOPSIS
hcitool [-h] hcitool [-i <hciX>] [command [command parameters]] DESCRIPTION
hcitool is used to configure Bluetooth connections and send some special command to Bluetooth devices. If no command is given, or if the option -h is used, hcitool prints some usage information and exits. OPTIONS
-h Gives a list of possible commands -i <hciX> The command is applied to device hciX , which must be the name of an installed Bluetooth device. If not specified, the command will be sent to the first available Bluetooth device. COMMANDS
dev Display local devices inq Inquire remote devices. For each discovered device, Bluetooth device address, clock offset and class are printed. scan Inquire remote devices. For each discovered device, device name are printed. name <bdaddr> Print device name of remote device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. info <bdaddr> Print device name, version and supported features of remote device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. spinq Start periodic inquiry process. No inquiry results are printed. epinq Exit periodic inquiry process. cmd <ogf> <ocf> [parameters] Submit an arbitrary HCI command to local device. ogf, ocf and parameters are hexadecimal bytes. con Display active baseband connections cc [--role=m|s] [--pkt-type=<ptype>] <bdaddr> Create baseband connection to remote device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. Option --pkt-type specifies a list of allowed packet types. <ptype> is a comma-separated list of packet types, where the possible packet types are DM1, DM3, DM5, DH1, DH3, DH5, HV1, HV2, HV3. Default is to allow all packet types. Option --role can have value m (do not allow role switch, stay master) or s (allow role switch, become slave if the peer asks to become master). Default is m. dc <bdaddr> [reason] Delete baseband connection from remote device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. The reason can be one of the Bluetooth HCI error codes. Default is 19 for user ended connections. The value must be given in decimal. sr <bdaddr> <role> Switch role for the baseband connection from the remote device to master or slave. cpt <bdaddr> <packet types> Change packet types for baseband connection to device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. packet types is a comma-separated list of packet types, where the possible packet types are DM1, DM3, DM5, DH1, DH3, DH5, HV1, HV2, HV3. rssi <bdaddr> Display received signal strength information for the connection to the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. lq <bdaddr> Display link quality for the connection to the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. tpl <bdaddr> [type] Display transmit power level for the connection to the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. The type can be 0 for the current transmit power level (which is default) or 1 for the maximum transmit power level. afh <bdaddr> Display AFH channel map for the connection to the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. lp <bdaddr> [value] With no value, displays link policy settings for the connection to the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. If value is given, sets the link policy settings for that connection to value. Possible values are RSWITCH, HOLD, SNIFF and PARK. lst <bdaddr> [value] With no value, displays link supervision timeout for the connection to the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. If value is given, sets the link supervision timeout for that connection to value slots, or to infinite if value is 0. auth <bdaddr> Request authentication for the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. enc <bdaddr> [encrypt enable] Enable or disable the encryption for the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. key <bdaddr> Change the connection link key for the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. clkoff <bdaddr> Read the clock offset for the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. clock [bdaddr] [which clock] Read the clock for the device with Bluetooth address bdaddr. The clock can be 0 for the local clock or 1 for the piconet clock (which is default). AUTHORS
