Specify the local address to listen on.
By default, the server will listen on
ANY
address.
The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or name.
If a name was specified, the
daemon will attempt to resolve the name via
bt_gethostbyname3.
-c file
Specify path to the configuration file.
The default path is
/etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf
-d
Do not detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in foreground.
-H file
Specify path to the known HIDs file.
The default path is
/var/db/bthidd.hids
-h
Display usage message and exit.
-p file
Specify path to the PID file.
The default path is
/var/run/bthidd.pid
-t val
Specify client rescan interval in seconds.
The
daemon will periodically scan for newly configured Bluetooth HID devices or
disconnected
``passive''
Bluetooth HID devices and will attempt to establish an outgoing connection.
The default rescan interval is 10 seconds.
CAVEATS
Any Bluetooth HID device that has
HUP_KEYBOARD
or
HUP_CONSUMER
entries in its descriptor is considered as
``keyboard''
For each
``keyboard''
Bluetooth HID device,
the
daemon will use a separate instance of the virtual keyboard interface
vkbd(4).
Therefore the
kbdmux(4)
driver must be used to properly multiplex input from multiple keyboards.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
The
daemon currently does not handle key auto repeat and double click mouse events.
Those events work under
X(7)
just fine,
but not in text console.
This manual page needs more work.
A manual page documenting the format of the
/etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf
configuration file is needed as well.
