🌸 bestie's guide to bluetooth-meshd(8) 🌸

okay so welcome to the bluetooth-meshd(8) manual page from Linux Connectivity — yes, the manual name is literally right there, and we're gonna get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

bluetooth-meshd — the Bluetooth Mesh daemon, no cap. That's the whole vibe of the name section, short and iconic 🎀

🛠 SYNOPSIS 🛠

bluetooth-meshd [options ...]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

it's the daemon that manages Bluetooth Mesh connections on Linux. main character energy for your mesh setup, fr fr 🦋

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -h, --help — prints the bluetooth-meshd options and dips out. that's it, that's the whole job ✨
  • -n, --nodetach — turns on logging in the foreground. it sends log output to the controlling terminal in addition to syslog, so you get both, bestie 🫶
  • -i <type>, --io <type> — picks the I/O interface type. if you don't specify a type, it defaults to auto I/O on the first available controller. the options are:
    • auto — use the first available controller: via the MGMT interface if the kernel supports it; otherwise, via a raw HCI socket.
    • generic:[hci]<index> — use generic HCI io on interface hci<index>.
    • unit:<fd_path> — specifies an open file descriptor for daemon testing.
  • -c <file>, --config <file> — specifies an explicit config file path instead of relying on the default path /etc/bluetooth/mesh-main.conf for the config file. lowkey handy when you're not doing default-path things 💖
  • -s <dir_path>, --storage <dirpath> — specifies an explicit storage directory path instead of the default path /var/lib/bluetooth/mesh for storing mesh node(s) configuration. your mesh node config needs a home, and this is where it goes 🎀
  • -d, --debug — enables debug output. turn it on when you want the tea ☕
  • -b, --dbus-debug — enables D-Bus debug output. separate debug vibe, still iconic ✨

📁 FILES 📁

  • /etc/bluetooth/mesh-main.conf — location of the global configuration file containing mesh daemon settings. that's the default config file path, bestie 💜
