🌸 ciptool(1) — Bluetooth Common ISDN Access Profile (CIP) 🌸

Okay so welcome to ciptool(1), bestie! This page lives in the Linux System Administration manual, and it's all about the Bluetooth Common ISDN Access Profile — yes, CIP — and making the Linux kernel's Bluetooth subsystem behave. It's giving very specific-tool energy, and we respect it. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ciptool — Bluetooth Common ISDN Access Profile (CIP) 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ciptool [OPTIONS] COMMANDS

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ciptool(1) is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the CIP configuration of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. That's the whole assignment, and it eats every time. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -i <hciX|BDADDR> — This applies the command to device hciX, which must be the name or the address of an installed Bluetooth device. If you don't specify it, the command will use the first available Bluetooth device. Default behavior, slay. ✨
  • -h, --help — Show help options. Short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

🔥 COMMANDS 🔥

  • show — Display information about the connected devices. Literally the vibe check for what's connected. 👀
  • search — Search for Bluetooth devices and connect to the first one that offers CIP support. It's giving main character search behavior, fr fr. 🦋
  • connect <BDADDR> [PSM] — Connect the local device to the remote Bluetooth device on the specified PSM number. If no PSM is specified, it will use the SDP to retrieve it from the remote device. SDP said "I got you." 💖
  • release [BDADDR] — Release a connection to the specific device. If no BDADDR is given and only one device is connected, this will be released. One-device cleanup arc. 🧹
  • loopback <BDADDR> [PSM] — Create a connection to the remote device for Bluetooth testing. This command will not provide a CAPI controller, because it is only for testing the CAPI Message Transport Protocol. Important caveat, bestie — no CAPI controller here! 😭🔥
