Subject: How to access services on my bluetooth device

Hi

recently, I bought a microsoft bluetooth 4.0 mouse, connect and
work very well on bluez-5.36.

I found this device have five profile
UUID: Generic Access Profile (00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Generic Attribute Profile (00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Device Information (0000180a-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Battery Service (0000180f-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)
UUID: Human Interface Device (00001812-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb)

How can I access Battery Service, I want to known the battery status.
Is't possible to get the battery status by bluez utils ?

iirc the plan is to create a battery using upower module, but in the
meantime you can use the D-Bus GATT APIs and write an application to
subscribe to the notifications.
