Bluetooth Management API
*************************
Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
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).

EIR_Data_Length (2 Octets)
EIR_Data (0-65535 Octets)
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 Reserved (not in use)
1 Legacy Pairing
This event indicates that a successful baseband connection has
been created to the remote device.

0 BR/EDR
1 LE Public
2 LE Random
Possible values for the Reason parameter:
0 Unspecified
1 Connection timeout
2 Connection terminated by local host
3 Connection terminated by remote host
Note that the local/remote distinction just determines which side
terminated the low-level connection, regardless of the
disconnection of the higher-level profiles.
This can sometimes be misleading and thus must be used with care.
For example, some hardware combinations would report a locally
initiated disconnection even if the user turned Bluetooth off in
the remote side.

User Confirmation Request Event
===============================
Event Code 0x000F
Controller Index: <controller id>
Event Parameters Address (6 Octets)
Address_Type (1 Octet)
Confirm_Hint (1 Octet)
Value (4 Octets)
This event is used to request a user confirmation request from
user space. If the Confirm_Hint parameter value is 0x01 this
means that a simple "Yes/No" confirmation should be presented to
the user instead of a full numerical confirmation (in which case
the parameter value will be 0x00).
User space should respond to this command either using the User
Confirmation Reply or the User Confirmation Negative Reply
command.
User Passkey Request Event
==========================
Event Code 0x0010
Controller Index: <controller id>
Event Parameters Address (6 Octets)
Address_Type (1 Octet)
This event is used to request a passkey from user space. The
response to this event should either be the User Passkey Reply
command or the User Passkey Negative Reply command.
Authentication Failed Event

RSSI (1 Octet)
Flags (4 Octets)
EIR_Data_Length (2 Octets)
EIR_Data (0-65535 Octets)
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.
Discovering Event
=================
Event Code 0x0013
Controller Index <controller id>
Event Parameters Address_Type (1 Octet)
Discovering (1 Octet)
This event indicates that the controller has started discovering
