💖 GATTTOOL(1) — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so before we get into it: this is the General Commands Manual page for gatttool, and I am about to make Bluetooth Low Energy make sense to you. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gatttool — tool for Bluetooth Low Energy device

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gatttool

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

gatttool is a tool that can be used to manipulate these attributes with a Bluetooth Low Energy device. that's the whole vibe. attributes? manipulated. device? low energy. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

🌸 USAGE 🌸

gatttool [OPTION...]

🫶 Help Options 🫶

these are your lil "wait what does this do" flags, and yes bestie, -h, --help is listed twice in the original and I am not about to erase history. both of them are staying. 💀

  • -h, --help — Show help options
  • -h, --help — Show help options (yes again, it's giving déjà vu and we respect it)
  • --help-all — Show all help options
  • --help-gatt — Show all GATT commands
  • --help-params — Show all Primary Services/Characteristics arguments
  • --help-char-read-write — Show all Characteristics Value/Descriptor Read/Write arguments

⭐ Application Options ⭐

the real ones. the main characters. 🌈

  • --i, ---adapter=hciX — Specify local adapter interface
  • --b, ---device=MAC — Specify remote Bluetooth address
  • --t, ---addr-type=[public | random] — Set LE address type. Default: public
  • --m, ---mtu=MTU — Specify the MTU size
  • --p, ---psm=PSM — Specify the PSM for GATT/ATT over BR/EDR
  • --l, ---sec-level=[low | medium | high] — Set security level. Default: low
  • --I, ---interactive — Use interactive mode
lowkey important: those option names really do have three dashes in the long form (---adapter, ---device, etc.). I'm not being extra, I'm being accurate. copy them exactly, bestie, or the vibe check fails. 💖
