NAME

6       btmgmt - interactive bluetooth management tool

SYNOPSIS

9       btmgmt [--options] [commands]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       btmgmt(1)  interactive  bluetooth management tool. The tool issues com‐
13       mands to the Kernel using the Bluetooth Management  socket,  some  com‐
14       mands may require net-admin capability in order to work since the Blue‐
15       tooth Management interface is considered a  low-level  interface  meant
16       for  the likes of bluetoothd(8), it is not recommended for applications
17       to use it directly as it may result in unexpected behavior.

AUTOMATION

45       Two common ways to automate the tool are to pass the commands  directly
46       like in the follow example:
47
48          btmgmt <<EOF
49          list
50          show
51          EOF
52
53       Or create a script and pass it as init-script:
54
55          $ vi test-script.bt
56          list
57          show
58          quit
59          :wq
60          $ btmgmt --init-script=test-script
