+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI
+transport interface.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I <tty>
+This specifies the serial device to attach. A leading
+.B /dev
+can be omitted. Examples:
+.B /dev/ttyS1
+.B ttyS2
+.TP
+.I <type | id>
+The
+.B type
+or
+.B id
+of the Bluetooth device that is to be attached, i.e. vendor or other device
+specific identifier. Currently supported types are

+.I <speed>
+The
+.B speed
+specifies the UART speed to use. Baudrates higher than 115.200bps require
+vendor specific initializations that are not implemented for all types of
+devices. In general the following speeds are supported:
+
+.B 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600
+
+Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to their respective
+best settings.
+.TP
+.I <flow>
+If the keyword
+.B flow
+is appended to the list of options then hardware flow control is forced on
+the serial link (
+.B CRTSCTS
+). All above mentioned device types have
+.B flow
+set by default. To force no flow control use
+.B noflow
+instead.
