Name
bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon
SYNOPSIS
bluetoothd [--version] | [--help]
bluetoothd [--nodetach] [--compat] [--experimental] [--debug=] [--plugin=] [--noplugin=]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bluetoothd daemon, which manages all the Bluetooth devices. bluetoothd can
also provide a number of services via the D-Bus message bus system.
OPTIONS
-v, --version
Print bluetoothd version and exit.
-h, --help
Print bluetoothd options and exit.
-n, --nodetach
Enable logging in foreground. Directs log output to the controlling terminal in addition to syslog.
-f, --configfile
Specifies an explicit config file path instead of relying on the default path(/etc/bluetooth/main.conf) for
the config file.
-d, --debug=::...
Sets how much information bluetoothd sends to the log destination (usually syslog's "daemon" facility). If the
file options are omitted, then debugging information from all the source files are printed. If file options
are present, then only debug prints from that source file are printed. The option can be a pattern containing
"*" and "?" characters.
Example: --debug=src/adapter.c:src/agent.c
-p, --plugin=,,..
Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.
-P, --noplugin=,,..
Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.
-C, --compat
Provide deprecated command line interfaces.
-E, --experimental
Enable D-Bus experimental interfaces. These interfaces are not guaranteed to be compatible or present in fu‐
ture releases.
-T, --testing
Enable D-Bus testing interfaces. These interfaces are only meant for test validation of the internals of
bluetoothd and shall not never be used by anything other than that.
-K, --kernel=,,...
Enable Kernel experimental features. Kernel experimental features are considered unstable and may be removed
from future kernel releases.
FILES
/etc/bluetooth/main.conf
Location of the global configuration file.
