Constant definitions
====================
The class of device definition from the Bluetooth specification divides into
three different parts. It the major class, the minor class and the service
classes. The D-Bus interface will always use string constants to identify
any of these classes.
Service classes positioning, networking, rendering, capturing,
object transfer, audio, telephony, information
Major classes miscellaneous, computer, phone, access point,
audio/video, peripheral, imaging, wearable, toy,
uncategorized
Minor classes computer uncategorized, desktop, server, laptop, handheld,
palm, wearable
Minor classes phone uncategorized, cellular, cordless, smart phone,
modem, isdn
Minor classes access point fully, 1-17 percent, 17-33 percent,
33-50 percent, 50-67 percent, 67-83 percent,
83-99 percent, not available
Minor classes audio video uncategorized, headset, handsfree,microphone,
loudspeaker, headphones, portable audio, car audio,
set-top box, hifi audio, vcr, video camera, camcorder,
video monitor, video display and loudspeaker,

Error hierarchy
===============
Interface org.bluez.Error
Errors Failed
An unknown error occured. The error messages is
taken from the strerror(errno) function.
InvalidArguments
Error returned when the argument list is invalid or
out of specification for the method.
NotAuthorized
Error returned when the caller of a method is not
authorized. This might happen if a caller tries to
terminate a connection that it hasn't created.
OutOfMemory
Error returned when a memory allocation via malloc()
fails. This error is similar to ENOMEM.
NoSuchAdapter
Error returned when the requested adapter doesn't
exists. This error is similar to ENODEV.
NotReady
Error returned when the adapter is DOWN.
NotAvailable
Error returned when a specified record is not
available.
NotConnected
Error returned when the remote device isn't connected
at the moment.
ConnectionAttemptFailed
AlreadyExists
Error returned if a record for a specific procedure
already exists and it has been tried create a new
one. The error message however should indicate the
procedure that fails. For example "Bonding already
exists"
DoesNotExist
Error returned if a record for a specifc procedure
doesn't exist. The error message however should
indicate the procedure that fails. For example
"Bonding does not exist".

Security hierarchy
==================
Service org.bluez
Interface org.bluez.Security
Object path /org/bluez or /org/bluez/{hci0,hci1,...}
Methods void RegisterDefaultPasskeyAgent(string path)
This registers the default passkey agent. It can
register a passkey for all adapters or for a
specific device depending on with object path has
been used.
The path parameter defines the object path of the
passkey agent that will be called when a passkey
needs to be entered.
If an application disconnects from the bus all
registered passkey agent will be removed.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists
void UnregisterDefaultPasskeyAgent(string path)
This unregisters a default passkey agent that has
been previously registered. The object path and
the path parameter must match the same values that
has been used on registration.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
void RegisterPasskeyAgent(string path, string address)
This registers the application passkey agent that
will be used for any application specific passkey
tasks.
The path parameter defines the object path of the
passkey agent that will be called when a passkey
needs to be entered. The address defines the remote
device that it will answer passkey requests for.
If an application disconnects from the bus all
registered passkey agent will be removed. It will
also be unregistered after a timeout and if the
pairing succeeds or fails. The application has to
take care of that it reregisters the passkey agent.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists
void UnregisterPasskeyAgent(string path, string address)
This unregisters a passkey agent that has been
previously registered. The object path and the path
and address parameter must match the same values
that has been used on registration.
The method is actually only needed if an application
wants to removed the passkey agent and don't wanna
wait for the automatic timeout.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
void RegisterDefaultAuthorizationAgent(string path)
This registers the default authorization agent. It can
register an authorization agent for all adapters or
for a specific one depending on which object path has
been used.
The path parameter defines the object path of the
authorization agent that will be called when an
authorization request needs to be answered.
void UnregisterDefaultAuthorizationAgent(string path)
This unregisters a default authorization agent that has
been previously registered. The path parameter must
match the same value that has been used on
registration.
PasskeyAgent hierarchy
======================
Service unique name
Interface org.bluez.PasskeyAgent
Object path freely definable
Methods string Request(string path, string address, boolean numeric)
This method gets called when the service daemon
needs to get the passkey for an authentication. The
return value is actual passkey.
The first argument contains the path of the local
adapter and the second one the remote address. The
third argument signals if a numeric PIN code is
expected or not. The default is a 1 to 16 byte PIN
code in UTF-8 format.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected
org.bluez.Error.Canceled
void Confirm(string path, string address, string value)
This method gets called when the service daemon
needs to verify a passkey. The verification is
done by showing the value to the passkey agent
and returning means a successful confirmation.
In case the values don't match an error must
be returned.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected
org.bluez.Error.Canceled
void Display(string path, string address, string value)
This method gets called when the service daemon
needs to display the passkey value. No return
value is needed. A successful paring will be
indicated by the Complete method and a failure
will be signaled with Cancel.
void Keypress(string path, string address)
This method indicates keypresses from the remote
device. This can happen when pairing with a keyboard.
void Complete(string path, string address)
This method gets called to indicate that the
authentication has been completed.
void Cancel(string path, string address)
This method gets called to indicate that the
authentication request failed before a reply was
returned by the Request method.
void Release()
This method gets called when the service daemon
unregisters a passkey agent. An agent can use
it to do cleanup tasks. There is no need to
unregister the agent, because when this method
gets called it has already been unregistered.
AuthorizationAgent hierarchy (experimental)
===========================================
Service unique name
Interface org.bluez.AuthorizationAgent
Object path freely definable
Methods void Authorize(string adapter_path, string address,
string service_path, string uuid)
This method gets called when the service daemon wants
to get an authorization for accessing a service. This
method should return if the remote user is granted
access or an error otherwise.
The adapter_path parameter is the object path of the
local adapter. The address, service_path and action
parameters correspond to the remote device address,
the object path of the service and the uuid of the
profile.
Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected
org.bluez.Error.Canceled
void Cancel(string adapter_path, string address,
string service_path, string uuid)
This method cancels a previous authorization request.
The adapter_path, address, service_path and uuid
parameters must match the same values that have been
used when the Authorize() method was called.
void Release()
This method gets called when the service daemon
unregisters an authorization agent. An agent can
use it to do cleanup tasks. There is no need to
unregister the agent, because when this method
gets called it has already been unregistered.
