31.Sh NAME
32.Nm sdpd
33.Nd Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol daemon
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl dh
37.Op Fl c Ar path
38.Op Fl g Ar group
39.Op Fl u Ar user
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43daemon keeps track of the Bluetooth services registered on the host
44and responds to Service Discovery inquiries from the remote Bluetooth devices.
45.Pp
46In order to use any service remote Bluetooth device need to send Sevice
47Search and Service Attribute or Service Search Attribute request over
48Bluetooth L2CAP connection on SDP PSM (0x0001).
49The
50.Nm
51daemon will try to find matching Service Record in its Service Database
52and will send appropriate response back.
53The remote device then will process the response, extract all required
54information and will make a separate connection in order to use the service.
55.Pp
56Bluetooth applications, running on the host, register services with
57the local
58.Nm
59daemon.
60Operation like service registration, service removal and service change are
61performed over the control socket.
62It is possible to query entire content of the
63.Nm
64Service Database with
65.Xr sdpcontrol 8
66by issuing
67.Cm browse
68command on the control socket.
69.Pp
70The command line options are as follows:
71.Bl -tag -width indent
72.It Fl d
73Do not detach from the controlling terminal.
74.It Fl c Ar path
75Specify path to the control socket.
76The default path is
77.Pa /var/run/sdp .
78.It Fl g Ar group
79Specifies the group the
80.Nm
81should run as after it initializes.
82The value specified may be either a group name or a numeric group ID.
83This only works if
84.Nm
85was started as root.
86The default group name is
87.Dq Li nobody .
88.It Fl h
89Display usage message and exit.
90.It Fl u Ar user
91Specifies the user the
92.Nm
93should run as after it initializes.
94The value specified may be either a user name or a numeric user ID.
95This only works if
96.Nm
97was started as root.
98The default user name is
99.Dq Li nobody .
100.El
101.Sh CAVEAT
102The
103.Nm
104daemon
105will listen for incoming L2CAP connections on a wildcard BD_ADDR.
106.Pp
107In case of multiple Bluetooth devices connected to the same host it is
108possible to specify which services should be
109.Dq bound
110to which Bluetooth device.
111Such assigment should be done at service registration time.
112.Pp
113Access rights on the control socket define which application can register,
114remove or change the service.
115The application must be able to write to and read from the control socket
116in order to perform any query to the Service Database via control socket.
117.Pp
118The
119.Nm
120daemon does not check for duplicated Service Records.
121It only performs minimal checking on the service data sent in the Service
122Register request.
123It is assumed that application must obtain all required resources such
124as RFCOMM channels etc., before registering the service.
125.Sh BUGS
126Most likely.
