💖 btattach — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this page is from the BlueZ crew and it's all about btattach(1) — a lil Linux system administration tool. Let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

btattach — attach serial devices to the BlueZ stack. yes, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

btattach [-B device] [-A device] [-P protocol] [-R]
⚠️ quick heads up: -R shows up in the synopsis but there's literally no entry for it down in OPTIONS. so we're just gonna leave it right here where we found it, no cap 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So btattach(1) is what you use to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack, and it acts as a transport interface. That's it, that's the whole job — it's giving very "connector friend who introduces two people at a party" energy 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -B device, --brder device — attach a BR/EDR controller 🔥
  • -A device, --amp device — attach an AMP controller ⚡
  • -P protocol, --protocol protocol — tells it which protocol type to use when it's talking to the device 🗣️
  • -S baudrate, --speed baudrate — pick which baudrate to use 🌈
  • -N, --noflowctl* — disable flow control. bye flow control 👋
  • -v, --version* — show the version 🏷️
  • -h, --help* — show help options 💖

🧚 the supported protocol values, in all their glory

The protocol you pass to -P / --protocol has to be one of these, bestie — no improvising:

h4
bcsp
3wire
h4ds
ll
ath3k
intel
bcm
qca

(originally this was a whole little box-drawing table with a protocol header, but the list is the actual information and it's so much easier to read like this, iykyk 💜)
