BLUETOOTH-CONFIG(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual BLUETOOTH-CONFIG(8)
NAME
bluetooth-config - a script to manage config files for the bluetooth sub
system
SYNOPSIS
bluetooth-config scan [-d device] [-n node]
DESCRIPTION
The bluetooth-config utility is an interactive script to provide a
frontend to the complex bluetooth sub system daemons.
The following options are available:
-d Scan for a specific bluetooth device address.
-n Limit scan to a specific host controller. Hint: List all
netgraph nodes with `/usr/sbin/ngctl list'.
bluetooth-config will help finding and setting up bluetooth controllers,
scan for nearby bluetooth devices in pairing mode, lookup their names,
allow mapping to friendly names in /etc/bluetooth/hosts, ask for the
paring PIN, instrument hcsecd(8) to securely pair with new devices and,
if the device offers HID endpoints such as mice or keyboards, configure
and restart bthidd(8).
bluetooth-config can bring up any interface and daemon necessary for
operation and, if a node is provided on command line, will do so
automatically for that interface.
FILES
/etc/bluetooth/hosts
sysrc -n bthidd_config
sysrc -n hcsecd_config
EXAMPLES
bluetooth-config scan -n ubt0 -a 00:26:bb:7a:58:95
This will scan the bluetooth controller ubt0hci for a bluetooth
device with the address 00:26:bb:7a:58:95, set up ubt0 if necessary
and enter an interactive dialog to pair the new device. Since in
this example a mouse is paired, bluetooth-config will interact with
bthidd(8), enabling it if necessary and then write an HID
descriptor to its config.
bluetooth-config scan
This will scan all bluetooth controllers on the systems for
bluetooth devices, prompting to bring up controllers or daemons
along the way.
