Name
       bluetoothctl-transport - Media Transport Submenu

SYNOPSIS
       bluetoothctl [--options] [transport.commands]

Media Transport Commands
   list
       List available transports.

       Usage  > list

   show
       Show transport information.

       Usage  > show [transport]

   acquire
       Acquire transport.

       Usage  > acquire  [transport1...]

       Note:

       If  running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire) it will automatically acquire
       transports according to the configured roles.

   select
       Select transport. For transports created on a Broadcast Sink device only. This moves the transport to the "broadcast‐
       ing" state, pending acquire.

       Usage  > select  [transport1...]

       Note:

       If the select command receives a list of transports, they will first be linked using the "Links" MediaTransport prop‐
       erty. They will then be selected one by one, by calling the "Select" MediaTransport method. After the first transport
       is acquired, the Broadcast Sink will create fds for the associated stream and all its links. Each link  can  then  be
       acquired one by one, setting the fd for the transport and starting to receive audio.

       The  select  command does not require a local endpoint to be registered beforehand. This is because if the setup runs
       with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire), the audio server is the one to register  endpoints
       and  the	 transports  are created as a result.  Once a transport is selected, the audio server will automatically ac‐
       quire.

   unselect
       Unselect transport. For transports created on a Broadcast Sink device only. This moves the transport  to	 the  "idle"
       state, pending release by the audio server. If the transport was acquired by bluetoothctl it can be released straight
       away, without having to be unselected.

       Usage  > unselect  [transport1...]

       Note:  If  running  the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire), it will prompt it to
       automatically release the transport.

   release
       Release transport.

       Usage  > release  [transport1...]

       Note:

       Transports acquired by an audio server, can only be released by said audio server.

   send
       Send contents of a file.

       Usage  > send  

   receive
       Get/Set file to receive.

       Usage  > receive  [filename]

   volume
       Get/Set transport volume.

       Usage  > volume  [value]
