For instance, a +client can build retry mechanism for a connection failure or improve the +bottleneck of use scenario based on actionable metrics. + +These error codes are context-based but not necessarily tied to interface or +method calls. For instance, if a pairing request failed due to connection +failure, connection error would be attached to the method return of Pair(). + +BR/EDR connection already connected +=================================== + errno: EALREADY, EISCONN + + Either the profile is already connected or ACL connection is in place. + +BR/EDR connection page timeout +============================== + errno: EHOSTDOWN + + Failed due to page timeout. + +BR/EDR connection profile unavailable +===================================== + errno: ENOPROTOOPT + + Failed to find connectable services or the target service. + +BR/EDR connection SDP search +============================ + errno: none + + Failed to complete the SDP search. + +BR/EDR connection create socket +=============================== + errno: EIO + + Failed to create or connect to BT IO socket.
