RFCOMM_SPPD(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		RFCOMM_SPPD(1)

NAME
     rfcomm_sppd — RFCOMM Serial Port Profile daemon

SYNOPSIS
     rfcomm_sppd [-d device] [-m mode] [-p psm] [-s service] [-t tty]
		 {-a address | [-c channel]}

DESCRIPTION
     The rfcomm_sppd utility is a Serial Port Profile daemon, providing serial
     access over an RFCOMM connection to a remote device.  rfcomm_sppd can
     work in client or server mode.

     In client mode, rfcomm_sppd initiates an RFCOMM connection to the service
     at the remote address.

     In server mode, rfcomm_sppd registers the service with the local SDP
     server and listens on the specified RFCOMM channel for an incoming con‐
     nection, or the first unused channel if none was given.

     The options are as follows:

     -a address	 Client mode.  Specify the address of the remote RFCOMM
		 device.  The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or name.  If
		 given as a name, then the rfcomm_sppd utility will attempt to
		 resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).

     -c channel	 In server mode, specify the RFCOMM channel number to listen
		 on.  rfcomm_sppd will register the service with the local
		 sdpd(8) daemon.  Note that registering services with sdpd(8)
		 is a privileged operation.

     -d device	 Use the local device with the specified address.  The device
		 can be specified by BD_ADDR or device name.  See btconfig(8)
		 for a list of available devices.  If no device is specified,
		 the connection will be set up on a system determined device.

     -m mode	 Set connection link mode.  Supported modes are:

		       auth	     require devices be paired.
		       encrypt	     auth, plus enable encryption.
		       secure	     encryption, plus change of link key.

     -p psm	 Specify the "Protocol/Service Multiplexer" value to be used
		 for the RFCOMM protocol.  In client mode where Service Dis‐
		 covery is being used, this value will be ignored.

     -s service	 Name of service class to connect to or register.  If no
		 service is given, the default "Serial Port" service class
		 will be used.	Known service classes are:

		       DUN	     Dialup Networking
		       LAN	     LAN access using PPP
		       SP	     Serial Port

		 In client mode, the service class may be given as a channel
		 number, for instances where the remote device does not pro‐
		 vide Service Discovery.

     -t tty	 Slave pseudo tty name.	 If this option is given, rfcomm_sppd
		 will detach from the controlling process after the Bluetooth
		 connection is made, and operate over the named pty(4) pair.
		 Otherwise, stdin/stdout will be used.

FILES
     /dev/pty[p-sP-S][0-9a-v]  master pseudo terminals
     /dev/tty[p-sP-S][0-9a-v]  slave pseudo terminals

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

EXAMPLES
	   rfcomm_sppd -a 00:01:02:03:04:05 -s 1 -t /dev/ttyp1

     Will open an RFCOMM connection to the server at 00:01:02:03:04:05 on
     channel 1.	 Once the connection has been established, rfcomm_sppd will
     detach and /dev/ttyp1 can be used to communicate with the remote serial
     port on the server, e.g. with the use of

	   cu -l /dev/ttyp1

     In order to use rfcomm_sppd to automatically create a secured link for
     pppd(8), use
	   pty "rfcomm_sppd -a 00:01:02:03:04:05 -s DUN -m secure"

     in your pppd(8) configuration file.

HISTORY
     The rfcomm_sppd program first appeared in FreeBSD and was ported to
     NetBSD 4.0 by Iain Hibbert under the sponsorship of Itronix, Inc.
