+BlueZ D-Bus Channel Sounding Ranging API documentation
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+:Version: BlueZ
+:Date: July 2026
+:Manual section: 5
+:Manual group: Linux System Administration
+
+Interface
+=========
+
+:Service: org.bluez
+:Interface: org.bluez.ChannelSoundingRanging1
+:Object path: [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX
+:Used by: **bluetoothctl(1)**, **bluetoothctl-cs(1)**
+
+This interface reports distance estimates derived from Channel Sounding
+measurement data. It is emitted by an external ranging estimation daemon
+(**cs-range-daemon**) which subscribes to the ``ProcedureData`` signal on
+**org.bluez.ChannelSounding1** for every device object, feeds the parsed
+CS procedure data into a distance-estimation library, and re-publishes
+the resulting estimate as **RangeEstimate** on the same device object
+path. It carries no methods or properties of its own.
+
+Signals
+-------
+
+void RangeEstimate(double distance_m, byte confidence)
+````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+Emitted whenever a new distance estimate has been computed for the
+device identified by the object path on which the signal is raised.
+
+:double distance_m:
+
+ Estimated distance to the remote device, in meters.
+
+:byte confidence:
+
+ Confidence level of the estimate, expressed as a percentage
+ (0-100).
+
+Clients that started a Channel Sounding measurement via
+**org.bluez.ChannelSounding1.StartMeasurement** and wish to receive
+range estimates should watch for this signal on the same device object
+path.
+
+Examples:
+
+:bluetoothctl distance output while a measurement is active:
+ | [CS] Distance: 1.234 m Confidence: 87%
