Even if you just want to write a small utility, you have to study quite a lot of source code. Seems to me like some kind of sport or what under linux (I'm more of a Windows guy). Or that's my point of view at least. I know you try, to me writing a BlueZ app seemed much like building a new car from parts where my only reference is an already completed car. You can peak inside, see how they did it, but in the end, you have to do a lot of tweaking and trying of different combinations to make it work. And for example, I never got an answer to why the HCI scanning routine (and the hctitool utility => BlueZ) ignores my timeout value...also, there's lots of error codes and nobody tells me what went wrong or why.
