NAME

sdptool - control and interrogate SDP servers

SYNOPSIS

sdptool [/OPTIONS/] [/COMMAND/ [/PARAMETERS/]]

DESCRIPTION

sdptool(1) provides the interface for performing SDP queries on Bluetooth devices, and administering a local SDP database.

COMMANDS

The following commands are available. In all cases bdaddr specifies the device to search or browse. If local is used for bdaddr, then the local SDP database is searched.

Services are identified and manipulated with a 4-byte record_handle (NOT the service name). To find a service's record_handle, look for the "Service RecHandle" line in the search or browse results

  • search [–bdaddr bdaddr] [–tree] [–raw] [–xml] service_name :: Search for services.. Known service names are DID, SP, DUN, LAN, FAX, OPUSH, FTP, HS, HF, HFAG, SAP, NAP, GN, PANU, HCRP, HID, CIP, A2SRC, A2SNK, AVRCT, AVRTG, UDIUE, UDITE and SYNCML.
  • browse [–tree] [–raw] [–xml] [bdaddr] :: Browse all available services on the device specified by a Bluetooth address as a parameter.
  • records [–tree] [–raw] [–xml] bdaddr :: Retrieve all possible service records.
  • add [ –handle=N –channel=N ] :: Add a service to the local SDP database. You can specify a handle for this record using the –handle option. You can specify a channel to add the service on using the –channel option. NOTE: Local adapters configuration will not be updated and this command should be used only for SDP testing.
  • del record_handle :: Remove a service from the local SDP database. NOTE: Local adapters configuration will not be updated and this command should be used only for SDP testing.
  • get [–tree] [–raw] [–xml] [–bdaddr bdaddr] record_handle :: Retrieve a service from the local SDP database.
  • setattr record_handle attrib_id attrib_value :: Set or add an attribute to an SDP record.
  • setseq record_handle attrib_id attrib_values :: Set or add an attribute sequence to an SDP record.
