Hi!
I am new to Bluetooth programming. I have read some documentation at BlueZ website and the WiKi regarding bluetooth programming.
What I understood is that the latest BlueZ stack has it's interface as the BlueZ D-BUS API, through which one can avail bluetooth services.
What I wanted to understand that Is there a way I can avail these services without using D-BUS/ D-BUS API and by directly accessing some BlueZ API. One way I know is Bluetooth socket programming, but cannot cover each and every bluetooth functionality. What are the additional set of APIs to access bluetooth services. Is there a place where these BlueZ APIS(other than BlueZ socket and D-BUS API) are documented?
Thanking in advance
regards
-Nitin

use the L2CAP and RFCOMM sockets and the D-Bus API for BlueZ. Everything
else it not worth using.

Hi Nitin,
> Thanks for your inputs, is that possible I can use the BlueZ without D-BUS also?
you could use libbluetooth directly to access HCI, but you really don't
wanna do that. It is like working with plain IP packets instead of TCP
and you will do a lot of things wrong. In some cases the kernel or hcid
will not even allow you certain changes and simply go ahead and
overwrite them. The D-Bus API is the only one that makes sense, because
it takes care of a lot of things you normally don't think about. Trust
me on this one. We spent a lot of time in getting this right.
Regards
Marcel
