BTDEVCTL(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		   BTDEVCTL(8)

NAME
     btdevctl — Bluetooth remote device control utility

SYNOPSIS
     btdevctl [-A | -D] [-qv] [-m mode] -a address -d device -s service

DESCRIPTION
     The btdevctl utility is used to configure bluetooth devices in the sys‐
     tem.  Normally, btdevctl will perform  an SDP query to the remote device
     as needed, and cache the results in the /var/db/btdevctl.plist file for
     later use.	 If neither Attach nor Detach is specified, btdevctl will dis‐
     play the configuration.

     The options are:

     -A		 Attach device

     -a address	 Remote device address.	 The address may be given as BDADDR or
		 a name.  If a name was specified, btdevctl attempts to
		 resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).

     -D		 Detach device

     -d device	 Local device address.	May be given as BDADDR or device name.

     -m mode	 Connection link mode.	The following modes are supported:

		 none	  clear previously set mode.
		 auth	  require devices be paired, see btpin(1).
		 encrypt  auth, plus enable encryption.
		 secure	  encryption, plus change of link key.

		 When configuring the HID service, btdevctl will set ‘auth’ by
		 default, or ‘encrypt’ for keyboard devices.  If the device
		 cannot handle authentication, then the mode will need to be
		 cleared manually.

     -q		 Ignore any cached data and perform a SDP query for the given
		 service.

     -s service	 Service to configure.	Known services are:

		 HID	 Human Interface Device.
		 HF	 Handsfree.
		 HSET	 Headset.

     -v		 Be verbose.

     For device configurations to persist across boots, add entries to the
     /etc/bluetooth/btdevctl.conf file and set the rc.conf(5) variable
     btdevctl to YES.

FILES
     /etc/bluetooth/btdevctl.conf
     /dev/bthub
     /var/db/btdevctl.plist

EXIT STATUS
     The btdevctl utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     See the Bluetooth chapter of "The NetBSD Guide" for detailed examples of
     configuring keyboards, mice, and audio headsets.

HISTORY
     Parts of the btdevctl program originated in the FreeBSD bthidcontrol pro‐
     gram.
