[Bluez-users] Using bluez-utils from another application

[mulata@gmx.de]

Hi!

Just installed bluez-libs-2.25 and bluez-utils-2.25.
I know there are more recent versions avaiable but since Im developping for an Embedded Linux System based on ARM9 my resources are very limited and I was not able to compile "libdbus" which is necessary for the recent version of bluez.However... the installed versions are working fine. 
By the way Im using a 2.2.21 Kernel, but the bluetooth related stuff is patched to 2.2.26.
My goal is to use functionalities provided by hciconfig and hcitool in another C Program. Finally this features (e.g. Listing active local bluetooth devices, do a scan for remote devices, ask for available services) will be visualized graphically in this C programm.

So there are basically tow ways:
- System Calls like system("hciconfig") (which is not very handy and beautiful)
- Using the Library

Concerning the second point (using Library) I did some research in hciconfig.c.
I expected that there a some higher-level functions that I can call from another C programm by including the necessary header files.
But it seems there must be also done some low-level stuff, like opening a HCI socket.

If anybody has some experience or hints in using bluez-lib from another application please let me know.

Thanks,
Johannes
