DESCRIPTION

       hciconfig  is  used  to configure Bluetooth devices.  hciX is the name of a Bluetooth device installed in the system. If hciX is not given,

       given, it prints basic information on device hciX only. Basic information is interface type, BD address, ACL MTU, SCO MTU, flags (up, init,
       running, raw, page scan enabled, inquiry scan enabled, inquiry, authentication enabled, encryption enabled).

	      sets link policy to the default behaviour of remaining slave and not accepting baseband connections  when  there	are  no  listening
	      AF_BLUETOOTH  sockets.  If  MASTER  is  present, the device will ask to become master if a connection request comes in. If ACCEPT is
