BTPIN(1) BSD General Commands Manual BTPIN(1)NAMEbtpin — Bluetooth PIN utility
SYNOPSISbtpin [-P] [-d device] [-s path] {-p pin | -r [-l len]} -a address
DESCRIPTION
The btpin utility is used to register a temporary PIN with the bthcid(8)
daemon for the purposes of pairing Bluetooth devices. The PIN will be
valid for 5 minutes or until used, whichever comes first.
The options are as follows:
-a address
Specify the remote device address. The address can be specified
as BD_ADDR or a name. If a name was specified, the btpin utility
attempts to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).
-d device
Specify the local device address. The device can be specified by
BD_ADDR or device name. See btconfig(8) for a list of devices
available. If no device is specified, the PIN will be valid for
any local device.
-l len Specify length of PIN to generate, where 1 ≤ len ≤ 16.
-P Pair with remote device. btpin will attempt to open an authenti‐
cated L2CAP connection to the Service Discovery Service on the
remote device, to force immediate pairing.
-p pin The PIN to register. The PIN may be up to 16 bytes in length.
-r Generate a random PIN, the default length is 4 bytes.
-s path
Specify path to the control socket. The default path is
/var/run/bthcid.
EXIT STATUS
The btpin utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
