NAME¶
btscanner - ncurses-based scanner for Bluetooth devices
SYNOPSIS¶
btscanner [
--help] [
--cfg <file>
]
[
--no-reset]
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page.
btscanner is a tool designed specifically to extract as much information
as possible from a Bluetooth device without the requirement to pair. A
detailed information screen extracts HCI and SDP information, and maintains an
open connection to monitor the RSSI and link quality. btscanner is based on
the BlueZ Bluetooth stack, which is included with recent Linux kernels, and
the BlueZ toolset. btscanner also contains a complete listing of the IEEE OUI
numbers and class lookup tables. Using the information gathered from these
sources it is possible to make educated guesses as to the host device type.
OPTIONS¶
--help Show a help text and exit.
--cfg <file> Use <file> as the config file.
--no-reset Do not reset the Bluetooth adapter before scanning.
