SYNOPSIS

sdpcontrol -h

sdpcontrol -a address command [parameters ...]

DESCRIPTION

The sdpcontrol utility attempts to query the specified Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) server. Remote SDP servers are identified by their address. Connection to the local SDP server is made via the control socket. The sdpcontrol utility uses Service Search Attribute Requests and prints results to standard output and error messages to standard error.

The options are as follows:

-a address: Connect to the remote device with the specified address. The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or a name. If a name was specified, the sdpcontrol utility attempts to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).
-c path: Specify path to the control socket. The default path is /var/run/sdp.
-h: Display usage message and exit.
-l: Query the local SDP server via the control socket.
command: One of the supported commands (see below). The special command help can be used to obtain a list of all supported commands. To get more information about a specific command, use help command.
