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. The local address specified by
74.Xr bind 2
75may be used to select the device that the socket will receive packets from. If
76.Dv BDADDR_ANY
77is specified then the socket will receive packets from all
78devices on the system.
79.Xr connect 2
80may be used to create connections such that packets sent with
81.Xr send 2
82will be delivered to the specified device, otherwise
83.Xr sendto 2
84should be used.
85.Pp
86The
87.Ar bt_psm
88and
89.Ar bt_channel
90fields in the sockaddr_bt structure are ignored by HCI protocol code
91and should be set to zero.
92.Pp
93HCI socket options:
94.Bl -tag -width XX
95.It Dv SO_HCI_EVT_FILTER Op Ar struct hci_filter
96This filter controls which events will be recieved at the socket. See
97.In netbt/hci.h
98for available events. By default, Command_Complete and Command_Status
99events only are enabled.
100.It Dv SO_HCI_PKT_FILTER Op Ar struct hci_filter
101This filter controls the type of packets that will be received at the
102socket. By default, Event packets only are enabled.
103.It Dv SO_HCI_DIRECTION Op Ar int
104When set, this enables control messages on packets received at the socket
105indicating the direction of travel of the packet.
106.El

115Default receive buffer size for HCI sockets
116.It Dv net.bluetooth.hci.acl_expiry
117If set, this is the time in seconds after which unused ACL data connections
118will be expired. If zero, connections will not be closed.
119.It Dv net.bluetooth.hci.memo_expiry
120Time, in seconds, that the system will keep records of Bluetooth devices
121in the vicinity after an Inquiry Response packet has been recieved. This
122information is used for routing purposes.

124The maximum number of packets on the low level Event queue.
125.It Dv net.bluetooth.hci.aclrxq_max
126The maximum number of packets on the low level ACL queue.
127.It Dv net.bluetooth.hci.scorxq_max
128The maximum number of packets on the low level SCO queue.
129.El
130.It Cm BTPROTO_L2CAP
131L2CAP sockets give sequential packet access over channels to other Bluetooth
132devices and make use of the
133.Ar bt_psm
134field in the
135.Ar sockaddr_bt
136structure to select the Protocol/Sevice Multiplexer to specify when making
137connections.

158Extended Response Timeout eXpiry for L2CAP signals.
159.El
160.It Cm BTPROTO_RFCOMM
161RFCOMM sockets provide streamed data over Bluetooth connection and make use of the
162.Ar bt_psm ,
163and
164.Ar bt_channel
165fields in the
166.Ar sockaddr_bt
167structure.
168The channel number must be between 1 and 30 inclusive.
169If no PSM is specified, a default value of
170.Dv L2CAP_PSM_RFCOMM
171(0x0003) will be used.

196Bluetooth connections, typically used for audio data. Note that SCO socket
197support is currently experimental and needs to be explicitly configured in
198your kernel configuration file with the BLUETOOTH_SCO option.
