NAME
btpin - Bluetooth PIN utility
SYNOPSIS
btpin [-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
authenticated 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.
FILES
