[Bluez-users] replicate hcitool scan using bluez libs

[Weston Weems]

I am a little new to the bluez libs etc, and am trying to essentiall
call functions in the bluez libs to simulate "scan" behaviour of
hcitool.

At first I thought it was inquiry in hci.h but after running the
tools, seems like they yeild different results. Also, device_id is id
of the bluetooth radio in the system?

Anyway I'd appreciate any guidance on the issue... 

many thanks in advance
Weston Weems

the "scan" combines the hci_inquiry() with hci_read_remote_name() and
thats it. The source is in hcitool.c at cmd_scan(). And dev_id is the
number of your local HCI device (see "hcitool dev").

Sounds good to me, I'll go read up in the source, an I think I should
be able to pick it up rather easily. Thank you.
