10

DESCRIPTION

12       l2ping(1)  sends  a  L2CAP  echo  request  to the Bluetooth MAC address
13       bd_addr given in dotted hex notation.
14

OPTIONS

16       -i <hciX>
17              The command is applied to device hciX, which must be the name of
18              an  installed Bluetooth device (X = 0, 1, 2, ...)  If not speci‐
19              fied, the command will be sent to the first available  Bluetooth
20              device.
21
22       -s size
23              The size of the data packets to be sent.
24
25       -c count
26              Send count number of packets then exit.
27
28       -t timeout
29              Wait timeout seconds for the response.
30
31       -d delay
32              Wait delay seconds between pings.
33
34       -f     Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It reduces the delay time be‐
35              tween packets to 0.
36
37       -r     Reverse ping (gnip?). Send echo response  instead  of  echo  re‐
38              quest.
39
40       -v     Verify  response payload is identical to request payload.  It is
41              not required for remote stacks to return  the  request  payload,
42              but most stacks do (including Bluez).
43
44       bd_addr
45              The  Bluetooth  MAC  address to be pinged in dotted hex notation
46              like 01:02:03:ab:cd:ef or 01:EF:cd:aB:02:03
