BLUETOOTH-CONFIG(8)	    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 net-
		graph nodes with `/usr/sbin/ngctl list'.

       bluetooth-config	 will  help  finding  and  setting  up	bluetooth con-
       trollers, 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 key-
       boards, 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 auto-
       matically 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 neces-
	     sary 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 blue-
	     tooth devices, prompting to bring up controllers or daemons along
	     the way.

HISTORY
       A bluetooth-config utility first	appeared in FreeBSD 12.1.

       Dirk Engling <erdgeist@erdgeist.org>

CAVEATS
       bluetooth-config	 can  not  parse  entries in hcsecd(8) config file and
       thus will ask the user to manually modify existing pairing PIN entries.

THANKS TO
       Lars Engels and Warren Block for	suggestions, help, and testing.
