Subject: [PATCH BlueZ v2 1/3] org.bluez.Bearer: Add Role property
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 10:29:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008173000.3615-2-kevin@simpleble.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008173000.3615-1-kevin@simpleble.org>

This adds Role property to org.bluez.Bearer.LE1 which indicates whether
the remote device is the central or the peripheral of the current LE
connection, so applications can tell a central that connected to the
adapter from a peripheral the adapter connected to.
