rfcomm - RFCOMM configuration utility
rfcomm [ options ] < command > <
dev >
rfcomm is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the RFCOMM
configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. If no
command is given, or if the option -a is used, rfcomm
prints information about the configured RFCOMM devices.
- -h
- Gives a list of possible commands.
- -a
- Prints information about all configured RFCOMM devices.
- -r
- Switch TTY into raw mode (doesn't work with "bind").
- -i <hciX> |
<bdaddr>
- The command is applied to device hciX, which must be the name or the
address of an installed Bluetooth device. If not specified, the command
will be use the first available Bluetooth device.
- -A
- Enable authentification
- -E
- Enable encryption
- -S
- Secure connection
- -M
- Become the master of a piconet
- -L
<seconds>
- Set linger timeout
- show
<dev>
- Display the information about the specified device.
- connect
<dev> [bdaddr] [channel]
- Connect the RFCOMM device to the remote Bluetooth device on the specified
channel. If no channel is specified, it will use the channel number 1.
This command can be terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C.
- listen
<dev> [channel] [cmd]
- Listen on a specified RFCOMM channel for incoming connections. If no
channel is specified, it will use the channel number 1, but a channel must
be specified before cmd. If cmd is given, it will be executed as soon as a
client connects. When the child process terminates or the client
disconnect, the command will terminate. Occurrences of {} in cmd will be
replaced by the name of the device used by the connection. This command
can be terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C.
- watch <dev>
[channel] [cmd]
- Watch is identical to listen except that when the child process
terminates or the client disconnect, the command will restart listening
with the same parameters.
- bind <dev>
[bdaddr] [channel]
- This binds the RFCOMM device to a remote Bluetooth device. The command
does not establish a connection to the remote device, it only creates the
binding. The connection will be established right after an application
tries to open the RFCOMM device. If no channel number is specified, it
uses the channel number 1.
- release
<dev>
- This command releases a defined RFCOMM binding.
If all is specified for the RFCOMM device, then all
bindings will be removed.
