Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v3 1/5] org.bluez.Bearer: Add Role property
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 11:04:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009180448.29117-2-kevin@simpleble.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009180448.29117-1-kevin@simpleble.org>
This adds Role property to org.bluez.Bearer.LE1 which indicates whether
the remote device is the central or the peripheral of the current LE
connection, so applications can tell a central that connected to the
adapter from a peripheral the adapter connected to.
