Subject: Bluez5 Device interface

Hi,

I am working on 3.14 kernel and using bluez5, My device supports ble devices, I havent found how can I write a C application which will pair devices and transfer data.

Can any one please point me in right direction.

Regards,
Sagar

Thank you very much, are there any sample apps demonstrating socket usage? for heart rate/ tty profile ?
All I see is python scripts as I need to write C apps.

We normally don't recommend using TTY, instead use socket API directly
or even better use org.bluez.Profile API:

Have you looked at bluetoothctl? It is written in C, the source code
is under client/:
