🌸 NAME 🌸

bthidcontrol — Bluetooth HID control utility

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bthidcontrol -h
bthidcontrol [-a BD_ADDR] [-c file] [-H file] [-v] command

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The bthidcontrol utility is your little remote-Bluetooth-HID-device bestie. It can query remote Bluetooth HID devices, dump HID descriptors in human readable form, and perform simple manipulations on the Bluetooth HID daemon configuration files. 💅

Results get printed to the standard output, and error messages go to the standard error. No cap. 🫶

The options are as follows, bestie:

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -a BD_ADDR — Specify BD_ADDR for the HID device. Example: -a 00:01:02:03:04:05.
  • -c file — Specify path to the Bluetooth HID daemon configuration file. The default path is /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf.
  • -H file — Specify path to the Bluetooth HID daemon known HIDs file. The default path is /var/db/bthidd.hids.
  • -h — Display usage message and exit.
  • -v — Be verbose and show items that are being used for padding.
  • command — One of the supported commands (peep the next section). The special command help can be used to obtain the list of all supported commands. To get more information about a specific command, use the help command.
