DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page documents briefly the bluetoothd daemon, which manages
15       all the Bluetooth devices.  bluetoothd itself does not accept many com‐
16       mand-line  options,  as  most  of  its  configuration  is  done  in the
17       /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file, which has its own man page.   bluetoothd
18       can also provide a number of services via the D-Bus message bus system.
