Hi Gloria,

stop cross posting. There is no need for it at all. Pick one mailing
list.

And don't include personal email addresses. You either get your answers
on the mailing or you don't.

Read this document first before you post the next time:

Check the source code of hcitool, sdptool and rfcomm.

Marcel

Hi Marcel and Gloria,
gloria, try also googling for "albert huang bluetooth" he's got some
useful stuff in his thesis.

marcel: i've already written that but I must reiterate that the main
reason people keep asking is that there's quite a big lack of
documentation. Even if you just want to write a small utility, you
have to study quite a lot of source code. Seems to me like some kind
of sport or what under linux (I'm more of a Windows guy). Or that's my
point of view at least. I know you try, to me writing a BlueZ app
seemed much like building a new car from parts where my only reference
is an already completed car. You can peak inside, see how they did it,
but in the end, you have to do a lot of tweaking and trying of
different combinations to make it work. And for example, I never got
an answer to why the HCI scanning routine (and the hctitool utility =>
BlueZ) ignores my timeout value...also, there's lots of error codes
and nobody tells me what went wrong or why.

for this reason we spent quite some time to design the the BlueZ D-Bus
API. It makes it easy to do the basic tasks without knowing any details
about the BlueZ internals or Bluetooth internals like HCI. And you can
use it with C, C++, Python, Java, Mono etc.

Marcel
