Hi all,
I have about 5 years experience with sockets programming, but I am new
to BlueZ. I am interested in developing applications using HCI. I
have skimmed through the Bluetooth specifications (through 2.0) and I
have created a "Hello World" app using hcitool.c (bluez-utils-2.7) as
a guide.
What other documents are available? Is there a FAQ, man page, or a
central location for API documentation somewhere? Looking at the
source of hcitool is helpful, but it only gets me so far. Where can I
get more details?
I am looking for anything to help me translate the Bluetooth spec into
the practical workings of the BlueZ implementation.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff

Thank you for your prompt reply!
Sorry, I was not very clear about that part. I use RFCOMM for the
transport. (It's been a couple of months since I wrote "Hello
World".) You are correct; I used rctest.c as my guide for that.
My frustration is trying to understand more about HCI. I'm sure there
is no way around a steep learning curve -- my objective is to get as
fine-tuned control as possible over the INQUIRY and INQUIRY_SCAN
modes. I want two nodes (with zero prior knowledge of each other) to
be able to discover each other and exchange messages within a couple
of seconds.
Thanks again for your time,
Jeff

I think what you really wanna do is using L2CAP or RFCOMM as transport
layers and so better look a l2test.c and rctest.c files.
