DESCRIPTION¶
L2ping sends a L2CAP echo request to the Bluetooth MAC address
bd_addr
given in dotted hex notation.
OPTIONS¶
- -i <hciX>
- The command is applied to device hciX , which must be the
name of an installed Bluetooth device (X = 0, 1, 2, ...) If not specified,
the command will be sent to the first available Bluetooth device.
- -s size
- The size of the data packets to be sent.
- -c count
- Send count number of packets then exit.
- -t timeout
- Wait timeout seconds for the response.
- -d delay
- Wait delay seconds between pings.
- -f
- Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It reduces the delay
time between packets to 0.
- -r
- Reverse ping (gnip?). Send echo response instead of echo
request.
- -v
- Verify response payload is identical to request payload. It
is not required for remote stacks to return the request payload, but most
stacks do (including Bluez).
- bd_addr
- The Bluetooth MAC address to be pinged in dotted hex
notation like 01:02:03:ab:cd:ef or 01:EF:cd:aB:02:03
