NAME

       bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon

SYNOPSIS

       bluetoothd [ -n ]

DESCRIPTION

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