BLUETOOTH.HOSTS(5)

📦 version 15.1, in freebsd 14.5, freebsd 15.1, nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, this is bluetooth.hosts(5), a File Formats Manual page, and it’s literally the Bluetooth host name database. periodt. 💖

🦋 NAME 🦋

bluetooth.hosts — the Bluetooth host name database, no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The /etc/bluetooth/hosts file is where the tea on known Bluetooth hosts lives. For each Bluetooth host, there should be a single line with this info:

Bluetooth address
official host name
aliases

Items get separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters — flexible, we love that. A # starts a comment, and characters from there to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines that search the file.

Bluetooth addresses are specified as six hex bytes separated by columns (BD_ADDR). Host names may contain any printable character other than a field delimiter, newline, or comment character. Slay, but follow the rules. 💅

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/bluetooth/hosts — the one file this whole page is about, iykyk.
