Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v3 3/9] client/gatt: Fix setting descriptor value from scripts
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:46:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924154631.369299-4-luiz.dentz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924154631.369299-1-luiz.dentz@gmail.com>

From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>

gatt.register-descriptor completed the command right after prompting
for the value, so when run from a script the line with the value was
executed as a command instead of being passed to the prompt, causing
the descriptor to be unregistered.

Complete the command once the value is set, as done for
characteristics, and parse a copy of the value so the input line is
not truncated by strsep while still in use by the shell.
