BLUETOOTHD(8) System management commands BLUETOOTHD(8) NAME
bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon SYNOPSIS
bluetoothd [ -n ] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bluetoothd daemon, which manages all the Bluetooth devices. bluetoothd itself does not accept many command-line options, as most of its configuration is done in the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file, which has its own man page. bluetoothd can also provide a number of services via the D-Bus message bus system. OPTIONS
-n Don't run as daemon in background. -d Enable debug information output. -m mtu-size Use specific MTU size for SDP server. FILES
/etc/bluetooth/main.conf Default location of the global configuration file. /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/linkkeys Default location for link keys of paired devices. The directory nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the address of the local device. The file is line separated, with the following columns separated by whitespace: nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn Remote device address. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Link key. n Link type integer. /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/names Default location for the device name cache. The directory nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the address of the local device. The file is line separated, with the following columns separated by whitespace: nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn Remote device address. name Remote device name, terminated with newline. /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/features Default location for the features cache. The directory nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the address of the local device. The file is line sepa- rated, with the following columns separated by whitespace: nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn Remote device address. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Remote device LMP features coded as an 8 byte bitfield. /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/manufacturers Default location for the manufacturers cache. The directory nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn is the address of the local device. The file is line separated, with the following columns separated by whitespace: nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn Remote device address. n Remote device manufacturer integer. n Remote device LMP version integer. n Remote device LMP sub-version integer.

BTKEY(1) BSD General Commands Manual BTKEY(1) NAME
btkey -- Bluetooth Link Key management utility SYNOPSIS
btkey [-CcRrWw] [-k key] -a address -d device btkey -Ll [-d device] DESCRIPTION
The btkey program is used to manage Bluetooth Link Key storage. Keys are normally handled by the bthcid(8) daemon which caches them in the /var/db/bthcid.keys file and provides them as required when Bluetooth connections need to be authenticated. These keys are required for connections between remote devices and the specific controller (not the Operating System) and so for multi-boot systems where it may not always be possible to specify the same key across all OS's it can be better to have the Bluetooth controller provide the keys directly from its semi-permanent memory once devices are paired. btkey will read, write or clear keys in device memory or the key cache as required. Note that without the bthcid(8) daemon running users will be unable to supply PINs, and Link Keys resulting from new pairings will not be stored. If no new pairings are expected and the keys are stored in the controller then bthcid(8) is not required. The options are as follows: -a address Specify the remote device address. May be given as a BDADDR or a name. -C Clear key from device. -c Clear key from file. -d device Specify the local device address. May be given as a BDADDR or a name. -k key Supply a Link Key as a string of hexadecimal digits. Up to 32 digits will be processed and the resulting key will be zero padded to 16 octets. -L List keys stored in device. -l List keys stored in file. -R Read key from device. -r Read key from file. -W Write key to device. -w Write key to file. Super-user privileges are required to read or write link keys. EXIT STATUS
The btkey utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. FILES
