Re: BlueZ Header Files

[Abe Kohandel <abe.kohandel@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I realized what I wanted to achieve is well encapsulated under a
BTPROTO_L2CAP socket and there is no need to expose these commands to
the user space.

Sorry for the premature question, I had confused myself with some
addressing issues and was unable to get the L2CAP socket to work
previously.

Thanks,
Abe

I have been specifically looking at the case of establishing a L2CAP LE connection for the Object Transfer Service and I can see that the linux kernel bluetooth header files have the definitions for L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ (0x14) and the associated l2cap_le_conn_req structure but the BlueZ header files do not. I have been able to establish my connection by manually introducing these definitions in my application but I would like to compile my application against the BlueZ library and I cannot do that without these definitions. I would be happy to submit a patch to add the definitions but first wanted to understand if there was a reason for their absence.
