Bluetooth Management API
*************************

Overview
========

This document describes the format of data used for communicating with
the kernel using a so-called Bluetooth Management sockets. These sockets
are available starting with Linux kernel version 3.4

The following kernel versions introduced new commands to the Bluetooth
Management API:

Linux kernel v3.4	Version 1.0
Linux kernel v3.5	Version 1.1
Linux kernel v3.7	Version 1.2
Linux kernel v3.9	Version 1.3
Linux kernel v3.13	Version 1.4


Example
=======

The Bluetooth management sockets can be created by setting the hci_channel
member of struct sockaddr_hci to HCI_CHANNEL_CONTROL (3) when creating a
raw HCI socket. In C the needed code would look something like the following:

int mgmt_create(void)
{
	struct sockaddr_hci addr;
	int fd;

	fd = socket(PF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_RAW | SOCK_CLOEXEC | SOCK_NONBLOCK,
                                                                BTPROTO_HCI);
	if (fd < 0)
		return -errno;

	memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
	addr.hci_family = AF_BLUETOOTH;
	addr.hci_dev = HCI_DEV_NONE;
	addr.hci_channel = HCI_CHANNEL_CONTROL;

	if (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0) {
		int err = -errno;
		close(fd);
		return err;
	}

	return fd;
}

The process creating the mgmt socket is required to have the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (e.g. root would have this).

All fields are in little-endian byte order (least significant byte first).

Controller Index can have a special value <non-controller> to indicate that
command or event is not related to any controller. Possible values:

	<controller id>		0x0000 to 0xFFFE
	<non-controller>	0xFFFF


Error Codes

	Command Parameters:
	Return Parameters:	Version (1 Octets)
				Revision (2 Octets)

	This command returns the Management version and revision.
	Besides, being informational the information can be used to
	determine whether certain behavior has changed or bugs fixed
	when interacting with the kernel.

	This command generates a Command Complete event on success or
	a Command Status event on failure.

	Return Parameters:	Current_Settings (4 Octets)

	This command is used to power on or off a controller. The
	allowed Powered command parameter values are 0x00 and 0x01. All
	other values will return Invalid Parameters.

	If discoverable setting is activated with a timeout, then
	switching the controller off will expire this timeout and
	disable discoverable.

	This command generates a Command Complete event on success or
	a Command Status event on failure.

	Possible errors:	Busy
				Invalid Parameters
				Invalid Index


Set Discoverable Command
========================

	Command Code:		0x0006
	Controller Index:	<controller id>
	Command Parameters:	Discoverable (1 Octet)
				Timeout (2 Octets)
	Return Parameters:	Current_Settings (4 Octets)

	This command is used to set the discoverable property of a
	controller. The allowed Discoverable command parameter values
	are 0x00, 0x01 and 0x02. All other values will return Invalid
	Parameters.

	Timeout is the time in seconds and is only meaningful when
	Discoverable is set to 0x01 or 0x02. Providing a timeout
	with 0x00 return Invalid Parameters. For 0x02, the timeout
	value is required.

	The value 0x00 disables discoverable, the value 0x01 enables
	general discoverable and the value 0x02 enables limited
	discoverable.

	This command is only available for BR/EDR capable controllers
	(e.g. not for single-mode LE ones). It will return Not Supported
	otherwise.

	This command can be used when the controller is not powered and
	all settings will be programmed once powered.

	However using a timeout when the controller is not powered will
	return Not Powered error.

	When switching discoverable on and the connectable setting is
	off it will return Rejected error.

	This command generates a Command Complete event on success or
	a Command Status event on failure.

	Possible errors:	Busy
				Rejected

	This command is used to set the connectable property of a
	controller. The allowed Connectable command parameter values are
	0x00 and 0x01. All other values will return Invalid Parameters.

	This command is available for BR/EDR, LE-only and also dual
	mode controllers. For BR/EDR is changes the page scan setting
	and for LE controllers it changes the advertising type. For
	dual mode controllers it affects both settings.

	For LE capable controllers the connectable setting only takes
	affect when advertising is enabled.

	This command can be used when the controller is not powered and
	all settings will be programmed once powered.

	When switching connectable off, it will also switch off the
	discoverable setting. Switching connectable back on will not
	restore a previous discoverable. It will stay off and needs
	to be manually switched back on.

	When switching connectable off, it will expire a discoverable
	setting with a timeout.

	This command generates a Command Complete event on success or
	a Command Status event on failure.

	Possible errors:	Busy

	(e.g. not for single-mode LE ones).

	This command can be used when the controller is not powered and
	all settings will be programmed once powered.

	To enable High Speed support, it is required that Secure Simple
	Pairing support is enabled first. High Speed support is not
	possible for connections without Secure Simple Pairing.

	When switching Secure Simple Pairing off, the support for High
	Speed will be switched off as well. Switching Secure Simple
	Pairing back on, will not re-enable High Speed support. That
	needs to be done manually.

	This command is used to set the major and minor device class for
	BR/EDR capable controllers.

	This command will also implicitly disable caching of pending CoD
	and EIR updates.

	This command is only available for BR/EDR capable controllers
	(e.g. not for single-mode LE ones).

	This command can be used when the controller is not powered and
	all settings will be programmed once powered.

	command parameters also include a short name which will be used
	in case the full name doesn't fit within EIR/AD data.

	The name parameters need to always end with a null byte (failure
	to do so will cause the command to fail).

	This command can be used when the controller is not powered and
	all settings will be programmed once powered.

	The values of name and short name will be remembered when
	switching the controller off and back on again. So the name
	and short name only have to be set once when a new controller
	is found and will stay until removed.

	and/or AD data. The accompanied SVC_Hint parameter is used to
	tell the kernel whether the service class bits of the Class of
	Device value need modifying due to this UUID.

	This command can be used when the controller is not powered and
	all settings will be programmed once powered.

	In case the controller is powered off, 0x000000 will be returned

	This event indicates that a device was found during device
	discovery.

	Possible values for the Address_Type parameter:
		0	BR/EDR
		1	LE Public
		2	LE Random

	The following bits are defined for the Flags parameter:
		0	Confirm name
		1	Legacy Pairing

	The Confirm name flag indicates that the kernel wants to know
	whether user space knows the name for this device or not. If
	this flag is set user space should respond to it using the
	Confirm Name command.

	The Legacy Pairing flag indicates that Legacy Pairing is likely
	to occur when pairing with this device. An application could use
	this information to optimize the pairing process by locally
	pre-generating a PIN code and thereby eliminate the risk of
	local input timeout when pairing. Note that there is a risk of
	false-positives for this flag so user space should be able to
	handle getting something else as a PIN Request when pairing.
