Subject: [Bluez-devel] Erasure of records of previously discovered devices

Dear all

I wrote a small c program to continuously inquire for nearby bluetooth devices and record their address, name and time of discovery. However, the program always seems to return a list of devices found earlier, even when the discovered device has been switched off.

Following is part of the code, which does 5 rounds of inquiry, largely derived from Bastian Ballmann's hciscan program. Is there anyway I can erase records of previously found devices and do a fresh inquiry everytime?

Thanks.
Teck Ping



for(j = 1; j <= 5; j++)
{
for(i = 0; i < num_rsp; i++)
{
memset(name, 0, sizeof(name));

if(hci_read_remote_name(dd, &(info+i)->bdaddr, sizeof(name), name, 100000) < 0)
{
strcpy(name, "na");
}

baswap(&bdaddr, &(info+i)->bdaddr);
time_t now;
time(&now);

printf("%d\t%s\t%s\t%s", j, batostr(&bdaddr), name, ctime(&now));

/*a+ will append text to the end of file*/
ptr = fopen("data.txt", "a+");
fprintf(ptr,"%d;%s;%s;%s", j, batostr(&bdaddr), name, ctime(&now));
fclose(ptr); /*close the opened file*/
}
}

your code doesn't use hci_inquiry() at all. However you should take a
look a the IREQ_CACHE_FLUSH flag.
