NAME
       btscanner - ncurses-based scanner for Bluetooth devices

SYNOPSIS
       btscanner [--help] [--cfg <file>] [--no-reset]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       btscanner  is  a  tool  designed specifically to extract as much information as possible from a Bluetooth device without the requirement to
       pair. A detailed information screen extracts HCI and SDP information, and maintains an open connection to monitor the RSSI and  link  qual-
       ity.   btscanner  is based on the BlueZ Bluetooth stack, which is included with recent Linux kernels, and the BlueZ toolset. btscanner also
       contains a complete listing of the IEEE OUI numbers and class lookup tables. Using the information gathered from these sources it is possi-
       ble to make educated guesses as to the host device type.

OPTIONS
       --help Show a help text and exit.

       --cfg <file> Use <file> as the config file.

       --no-reset Do not reset the Bluetooth adapter before scanning.
