BLUETOOTHD(8) System management commands BLUETOOTHD(8)
NAME
bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon
SYNOPSIS
bluetoothd [--version] | [--help]
bluetoothd [--nodetach] [--compat] [--experimental] [--debug=<files>]
[--plugin=<plugins>] [--noplugin=<plugins>]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bluetoothd daemon, which manages
all the Bluetooth devices. bluetoothd can also provide a number of ser-
vices via the D-Bus message bus system.
OPTIONS
-v, --version
Print bluetoothd version and exit.
-h, --help
Print bluetoothd options and exit.
-n, --nodetach
Enable logging in foreground. Directs log output to the control-
ling terminal in addition to syslog.
-f, --configfile
Specifies an explicit config file path instead of relying on the
default path(/etc/bluetooth/main.conf) for the config file.
-d, --debug=<file1>:<file2>:...
Sets how much information bluetoothd sends to the log destination
(usually syslog's "daemon" facility). If the file options are
omitted, then debugging information from all the source files are
printed. If file options are present, then only debug prints from
that source file are printed. The option can be a pattern con-
taining "*" and "?" characters.
Example: --debug=src/adapter.c:src/agent.c
-p, --plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..
Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing
"*" and "?" characters.
-P, --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..
Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing
"*" and "?" characters.
-C, --compat
Provide deprecated command line interfaces.
-E, --experimental
Enable D-Bus experimental interfaces. These interfaces are not
guaranteed to be compatible or present in future releases.
-T, --testing
Enable D-Bus testing interfaces. These interfaces are only meant
for test validation of the internals of bluetoothd and shall not
never be used by anything other than that.
-K, --kernel=<uuid1>,<uuid2>,...
Enable Kernel experimental features. Kernel experimental features
are considered unstable and may be removed from future kernel re-
leases.
FILES
/etc/bluetooth/main.conf
Location of the global configuration file.
