The name argument passed to bt_gethostbyname() should point to a
NUL-terminated hostname. The addr argument passed to bt_gethostbyaddr()
should point to an address which is len bytes long, in binary form (i.e.,
not a Bluetooth BD_ADDR in human readable ASCII form). The type argument
specifies the address family of this address and must be set to
AF_BLUETOOTH.
The structure returned contains the information obtained from a line in
/etc/bluetooth/hosts file.
The bt_sethostent() function controls whether /etc/bluetooth/hosts file
should stay open after each call to bt_gethostbyname() or
bt_gethostbyaddr(). If the stayopen flag is non-zero, the file will not
be closed.
The bt_endhostent() function closes the /etc/bluetooth/hosts file.
The bt_getprotoent(), bt_getprotobyname() and bt_getprotobynumber()
functions each return a pointer to an object with the protoent structure
describing a Bluetooth Protocol Service Multiplexor referenced by name or
number, respectively.
The name argument passed to bt_getprotobyname() should point to a
NUL-terminated Bluetooth Protocol Service Multiplexor name. The proto
argument passed to bt_getprotobynumber() should have numeric value of the
desired Bluetooth Protocol Service Multiplexor.
The structure returned contains the information obtained from a line in
/etc/bluetooth/protocols file.
The bt_setprotoent() function controls whether /etc/bluetooth/protocols
file should stay open after each call to bt_getprotobyname() or
bt_getprotobynumber(). If the stayopen flag is non-zero, the file will
not be closed.
The bt_endprotoent() function closes the /etc/bluetooth/protocols file.
The bt_aton() routine interprets the specified character string as a
Bluetooth address, placing the address into the structure provided. It
returns 1 if the string was successfully interpreted, or 0 if the string
is invalid.
The routine bt_ntoa() takes a Bluetooth address and places an ASCII
string representing the address into the buffer provided. It is up to
the caller to ensure that provided buffer has enough space. If no buffer
was provided then internal static buffer will be used.
The bt_devaddr() function interprets the specified devname string as the
address or device name of a Bluetooth device on the local system, and
places the device address in the provided bdaddr, if any. The function
returns 1 if the string was successfully interpreted, or 0 if the string
did not match any local device. The bt_devname() function takes a
Bluetooth device address and copies the local device name associated with
that address into the buffer provided, if any. Caller must ensure that
provided buffer is at least HCI_DEVNAME_SIZE characters in size. The
function returns 1 when the device was found, otherwise 0.
The bt_devinfo() function populates provided bt_devinfo structure with
char devname[HCI_DEVNAME_SIZE];
uint32_t state;
bdaddr_t bdaddr;
uint16_t _reserved0;
uint8_t features[HCI_DEVFEATURES_SIZE];
/* buffer info */
uint16_t _reserved1;
uint16_t cmd_free;
uint16_t sco_size;
uint16_t sco_pkts;
uint16_t sco_free;
uint16_t acl_size;
uint16_t acl_pkts;
uint16_t acl_free;
/* stats */
uint32_t cmd_sent;
uint32_t evnt_recv;
uint32_t acl_recv;
uint32_t acl_sent;
uint32_t sco_recv;
uint32_t sco_sent;
uint32_t bytes_recv;
uint32_t bytes_sent;
/* misc/specific */
uint16_t link_policy_info;
uint16_t packet_type_info;
uint16_t role_switch_info;
uint16_t debug;
uint8_t _padding[20];
};
The bt_devenum() function enumerates Bluetooth devices present in the
system. For every device found, the function will call provided cb
callback function which should be of bt_devenum_cb_t type. The callback
function is passed a HCI socket s, fully populated bt_devinfo structure
di and arg argument provided to the bt_devenum(). The callback function
can stop enumeration by returning a value that is greater than zero. The
function returns number of successfully enumerated devices, or -1 if an
error occurred.
The bt_devopen() function opens a Bluetooth device with the given devname
and returns a connected and bound HCI socket handle. The function
returns -1 if an error has occurred.
The bt_devclose() closes the passed HCI socket handle s, previously
obtained with bt_devopen(3).
The bt_devsend() function sends a Bluetooth HCI command with the given
opcode to the provided socket s, previously obtained with bt_devopen(3).
The opcode parameter is expected to be in the host byte order. The param
and plen parameters specify command parameters. The bt_devsend()
function does not modify the HCI filter on the provided socket s. The
modify the HCI filter on the provided socket s. The function returns
total number of bytes received, or -1 if an error occurred.
The bt_devreq() function makes a Bluetooth HCI request to the socket s,
previously obtained with bt_devopen(3). The function will send the
specified command and will wait for the specified event, or timeout to
seconds to occur. The bt_devreq structure is defined as follows
struct bt_devreq
{
uint16_t opcode;
uint8_t event;
void *cparam;
size_t clen;
void *rparam;
size_t rlen;
};
The opcode field specifies the command and is expected to be in the host
byte order. The cparam and clen fields specify command parameters data
and command parameters data size respectively. The event field specifies
which Bluetooth HCI event ID the function should wait for, otherwise it
should be set to zero. The HCI Command Complete and Command Status
events are enabled by default. The rparam and rlen parameters specify
buffer and buffer size respectively where return parameters should be
placed. The bt_devreq() function temporarily modifies filter on the
provided HCI socket s. The function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an
error occurred.
The bt_devfilter() controls the local HCI filter associated with the
socket s, previously obtained with bt_devopen(3). Filtering can be done
on packet types, i.e. ACL, SCO or HCI, command and event packets, and,
in addition, on HCI event IDs. Before applying the new filter (if
provided) the function will try to obtain the current filter from the
socket s and place it into the old parameter (if provided). The function
returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurred.
The bt_devfilter_pkt_set(), bt_devfilter_pkt_clr() and
bt_devfilter_pkt_tst() functions can be used to modify and test the HCI
filter filter. The type parameter specifies HCI packet type.
The bt_devfilter_evt_set(), bt_devfilter_evt_clr() and
bt_devfilter_evt_tst() functions can be used to modify and test the HCI
event filter filter. The event parameter specifies HCI event ID.
The bt_devinquiry() function performs Bluetooth inquiry. The devname
parameter specifies which local Bluetooth device should perform an
inquiry. If not specified, i.e. NULL, then first available device will
be used. The length parameters specifies the total length of an inquiry
in seconds. If not specified, i.e. 0, default value will be used. The
num_rsp parameter specifies the number of responses that can be received
before the inquiry is halted. If not specified, i.e. 0, default value
will be used. The ii parameter specifies where to place inquiry results.
On success, the function will return total number of inquiry results,
will allocate, using calloc(3), buffer to store all the inquiry results
and will return pointer to the allocated buffer in the ii parameter. It
is up to the caller of the function to dispose of the buffer using
free(3) call. The function returns -1 if an error has occurred. The
bt_devinquiry structure is defined as follows
int8_t rssi;
uint8_t data[240];
};
The bt_devremote_name() function performs Bluetooth Remote Name Request
procedure to obtain the user-friendly name of another Bluetooth unit.
The devname parameter specifies which local Bluetooth device should
perform the request. If not specified (NULL), the first available device
is used. The remote parameter specifies the Bluetooth BD_ADDR of the
remote device to query. The to parameter specifies response timeout in
seconds. If not specified (0), the default value is taken from the
net.bluetooth.hci.command_timeout sysctl(8) value. The clk_off,
ps_rep_mode, and ps_mode parameters specify Clock_Offset,
Page_Scan_Repetition_Mode, and Page_Scan_Mode fields of
HCI_Remote_Name_Request respectively. On success, the function returns a
pointer to dynamically allocated NUL-terminated string or NULL if an
error occurred. It is up to the caller to release returned string using
free(3).
The bt_devremote_name_gen() function is a shortcut to bt_devremote_name()
that passes generic defaults for to, clk_off, ps_rep_mode, and ps_mode
parameters.
The bdaddr_same(), bdaddr_any(), and bdaddr_copy() are handy shorthand
Bluetooth address utility functions. The bdaddr_same() function will
test if two provided BD_ADDRs are the same. The bdaddr_any() function
will test if provided BD_ADDR is ANY BD_ADDR. The bdaddr_copy() function
will copy provided src BD_ADDR into provided dst BD_ADDR.
FILES
/etc/bluetooth/hosts
/etc/bluetooth/protocols
EXAMPLES
Print out the hostname associated with a specific BD_ADDR:
const char *bdstr = "00:01:02:03:04:05";
bdaddr_t bd;
struct hostent *hp;
if (!bt_aton(bdstr, &bd))
errx(1, "can't parse BD_ADDR %s", bdstr);
if ((hp = bt_gethostbyaddr((const char *)&bd,
sizeof(bd), AF_BLUETOOTH)) == NULL)
errx(1, "no name associated with %s", bdstr);
printf("name associated with %s is %s\n", bdstr, hp->h_name);
DIAGNOSTICS
Error return status from bt_gethostent(), bt_gethostbyname() and
bt_gethostbyaddr() is indicated by return of a NULL pointer. The
external integer h_errno may then be checked to see whether this is a
temporary failure or an invalid or unknown host. The routine herror(3)
can be used to print an error message describing the failure. If its
argument string is non-NULL, it is printed, followed by a colon and a
space. The error message is printed with a trailing newline.
The variable h_errno can have the following values:
return NULL on EOF or error.

CAVEAT
The bt_gethostent() function reads the next line of /etc/bluetooth/hosts,
opening the file if necessary.
The bt_sethostent() function opens and/or rewinds the
/etc/bluetooth/hosts file.
The bt_getprotoent() function reads the next line of
/etc/bluetooth/protocols, opening the file if necessary.
The bt_setprotoent() function opens and/or rewinds the
/etc/bluetooth/protocols file.
The bt_devenum() function enumerates up to HCI_DEVMAX Bluetooth devices.
During enumeration the bt_devenum() function uses the same HCI socket.
The function guarantees that the socket, passed to the callback function,
will be bound and connected to the Bluetooth device being enumerated.

BUGS
Some of those functions use static data storage; if the data is needed
for future use, it should be copied before any subsequent calls overwrite
it.
