It's in the man page for hciconfig, the inqparams keyword.  It took me a
while to figure out experimentally what paging and inquiry were; they
weren't explained in the man page.  But I ended up with my application
modifying the inquiry responsiveness in expectation of a connection.  My
application was two Debian add-on packages for setting up a poor-mans
wireless IP using two dongles.

http://quozl.linux.org.au/bluetooth/

e.g. my quozl-bluez-server package increases the paging and inquiry rate
in anticipation of a connection, in a per-package hotplug.sh script;

	hciconfig hci0 pageparams 18:512
	hciconfig hci0 inqparams 18:512

then once the connection arrives, the dev-up.sh script returns the
parameters to what I once found they were;

	hciconfig hci0 pageparams 18:2048
	hciconfig hci0 inqparams 18:2048

I've no idea what the side effects may be, but it made it more
responsive.

No doubt an application can do what hciconfig does if it needs to.
Check the source.
