💅 sdptool(1) — control and interrogate SDP servers ✨

Okay so this is sdptool(1), hanging out in the Linux System Administration section of the manual-verse, and she is here to help you talk to SDP servers and wrangle your local SDP database. Bestie, let’s get into it. 🫶

🌸 Name

sdptool — control and interrogate SDP servers 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sdptool [OPTIONS] [COMMAND [PARAMETERS]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION

sdptool(1) is literally the interface for performing SDP queries on Bluetooth devices and administering a local SDP database. That’s the vibe. Slay. 💅

👑 COMMANDS

The following commands are available. In every case, bdaddr specifies the device to search or browse. If local is used for bdaddr, then the local SDP database is searched. 🎀

Services are identified and manipulated with a 4-byte record_handle (NOT the service name). To find a service’s record_handle, look for the "Service RecHandle" line in the search or browse results. This is important, bestie — do not come for the service name when the manual said record_handle. 🫠

  • search [--bdaddr bdaddr] [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] service_name — Search for services.. 🔎
    • Known service names are DID, SP, DUN, LAN, FAX, OPUSH, FTP, HS, HF, HFAG, SAP, NAP, GN, PANU, HCRP, HID, CIP, A2SRC, A2SNK, AVRCT, AVRTG, UDIUE, UDITE and SYNCML. 🌈
  • browse [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] [bdaddr] — Browse all available services on the device specified by a Bluetooth address as a parameter. 🦋
  • records [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] bdaddr — Retrieve all possible service records. 📚
  • add [ --handle=N --channel=N ] — Add a service to the local SDP database. ➕
    • You can specify a handle for this record using the --handle option.
    • You can specify a channel to add the service on using the --channel option.
⚠️ NOTE: Local adapters configuration will not be updated and this command should be used only for SDP testing.
  • del record_handle — Remove a service from the local SDP database. 🗑️
⚠️ NOTE: Local adapters configuration will not be updated and this command should be used only for SDP testing.
  • get [--tree] [--raw] [--xml] [--bdaddr bdaddr] record_handle — Retrieve a service from the local SDP database. 📥
  • setattr record_handle attrib_id attrib_value — Set or add an attribute to an SDP record. ✍️
  • setseq record_handle attrib_id attrib_values — Set or add an attribute sequence to an SDP record. 🧚
