36.Sh NAME
37.Nm bluetooth
38.Nd Bluetooth Protocol Family
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In netbt/bluetooth.h
41.In netbt/hci.h
42.In netbt/l2cap.h
43.In netbt/rfcomm.h
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Tn Bluetooth
47Protocol Family
48.Sh ADDRESSING
49Bluetooth Protocol Family sockets all use a
50.Ar sockaddr_bt
51structure which contains a Bluetooth Device Address (BDADDR).
52This consists of a six byte string in least significant byte
53first order.
54.Bd -literal -offset indent
55struct sockaddr_bt {
56	uint8_t		bt_len;
57	sa_family_t	bt_family;
58	bdaddr_t	bt_bdaddr;
59	uint16_t	bt_psm;
60	uint8_t		bt_channel;
61};
62.Ed
63.Pp
64The local address used by the socket can be set with
65.Xr bind 2 .
66.Sh PROTOCOLS
67Protocols included are:
68.Bl -tag -width XX
69.It Cm BTPROTO_HCI
70This gives raw access to the Host Controller Interface of local devices
71using the HCI protocol as described in the Bluetooth Core Specification.
72Any user may open an HCI socket but there are limitations on what
73unprivileged users can send and receive.
74The local address specified by
75.Xr bind 2
76may be used to select the device that the socket will receive packets from.
77If
78.Dv BDADDR_ANY
79is specified then the socket will receive packets from all
80devices on the system.
81.Xr connect 2
82may be used to create connections such that packets sent with
83.Xr send 2
84will be delivered to the specified device, otherwise
85.Xr sendto 2
86should be used.
87.Pp
88The
89.Ar bt_psm
90and
91.Ar bt_channel
92fields in the sockaddr_bt structure are ignored by HCI protocol code
93and should be set to zero.
94.Pp
95HCI socket options:
96.Bl -tag -width XX
97.It Dv SO_HCI_EVT_FILTER Op Ar struct hci_filter
98This filter controls which events will be received at the socket.
99See
100.In netbt/hci.h
101for available events.
102By default, Command_Complete and Command_Status
103events only are enabled.
104.It Dv SO_HCI_PKT_FILTER Op Ar struct hci_filter
105This filter controls the type of packets that will be received at the
106socket.
107By default, Event packets only are enabled.
108.It Dv SO_HCI_DIRECTION Op Ar int
109When set, this enables control messages on packets received at the socket
110indicating the direction of travel of the packet.

121.It Dv net.bluetooth.hci.acl_expiry
122If set, this is the time in seconds after which unused ACL data connections
123will be expired.
124If zero, connections will not be closed.
125.It Dv net.bluetooth.hci.memo_expiry
126Time, in seconds, that the system will keep records of Bluetooth devices
127in the vicinity after an Inquiry Response packet has been received.
128This information is used for routing purposes.

135.El
136.It Cm BTPROTO_L2CAP
137L2CAP sockets give sequential packet access over channels to other Bluetooth
138devices and make use of the
139.Ar bt_psm
140field in the
141.Ar sockaddr_bt
142structure to select the Protocol/Sevice Multiplexer to specify when making
143connections.
144If the special value of
145.Dv L2CAP_PSM_ANY
146is bound when the
147.Xr listen 2
148call is made, the next available PSM from the dynamic range above 0x1001
149will be selected and may be discovered using the

174.Pp
175Link mode settings will be applied to the baseband link during L2CAP
176connection establishment.
177If the L2CAP connection is already established,
178.Dv EINPROGRESS
179may be returned, and it is not possible to guarantee that data already queued
180.Pq from either end
181will not be delivered.
182If the mode change fails, the L2CAP connection will be aborted.

201and
202.Ar bt_channel
203fields in the
204.Ar sockaddr_bt
205structure.
206The channel number must be between 1 and 30 inclusive except that if the
207special value
208.Dv RFCOMM_CHANNEL_ANY
209is bound, when the
210.Xr listen 2
211call is made, the first unused channel for the relevant bdaddr will be
212allocated and may be discovered using the
213.Xr getsockname 2
214call.
215If no PSM is specified, a default value of
216.Dv L2CAP_PSM_RFCOMM
217(0x0003) will be used.
