       bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bluetoothd [--version] | [--help]

       bluetoothd       [--nodetach]       [--compat]      [--experimental]     [--debug=<files>]
       [--plugin=<plugins>] [--noplugin=<plugins>]

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=<file1>:<file2>:...
              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=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..
              Load these plugins only. The option can  be  a  pattern  containing   "*"  and  "?"
              characters.

       -P, --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..
              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 future 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=<uuid1>,<uuid2>,...
              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.
