Adapter hierarchy
=================

Service		org.bluez
Interface	org.bluez.Adapter
Object path	[variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}

Methods		dict GetProperties()

			Returns all properties for the adapter. See the
			properties section for available properties.

			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments

		void SetProperty(string name, variant value)

			Changes the value of the specified property. Only
			properties that are listed a read-write are changeable.
			On success this will emit a PropertyChanged signal.

			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments

		void RequestMode(string mode)

			This method will request a mode change. The mode
			change must be confirmed by the user via the agent.

			Possible modes for this call are "connectable" and
			"discoverable". Any application that wants to use
			Bluetooth functionality can use this method to
			indicate which mode it needs to operate sucessfully.

			In case the user doesn't confirm the mode change it
			will return an error to indicate this rejection.

			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.Rejected

		void ReleaseMode()

			Releases a mode requested via RequestMode.

			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist

		void DiscoverDevices()

			This method starts the device discovery procedure. This
			includes an inquiry procedure and remote device name
			resolving.

			On start up this process will generate a DiscoveryStarted
			signal and then return DeviceFound singals. If the
			procedure has been finished an DiscoveryCompleted
			signal will be sent.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
					 org.bluez.Error.InProgress
					 org.bluez.Error.NoSuchAdapter

		void CancelDiscovery()

			This method will cancel any previous DiscoverDevices
			transaction.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
					 org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
					 org.bluez.Error.NoSuchAdapter

		object FindDevice(string address)

			Returns the object path of device for given address.
			The device object needs to be first created via
			CreateDevice or CreatePairedDevice.

			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments

		array{object} ListDevices()

			Returns list of device object paths.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
					 org.bluez.Error.OutOfMemory

		object CreateDevice(string address)

			Creates a new object path for a remote device. This
			method will connect to the remote device and retrieve
			all SDP records.

			If the object for the remote device already exists
			this method will fail.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		object CreatePairedDevice(string address, object agent,
							string capability)

			Creates a new object path for a remote device. This
			method will connect to the remote device and retrieve
			all SDP records and then initiate the pairing.

			If previously CreateDevice was used successfully,
			this method will only initiate the pairing.

			Compared to CreateDevice this method will fail if
			the pairing already exists, but not if the object
			path already has been created. This allows applications
			to use CreateDevice first and the if needed use
			CreatePairedDevice to initiate pairing.

			The capability parameter is the same as for the
			RegisterAgent method.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		void RemoveDevice(object device)

			This removes the remote device object at the given
			path. It will remove also the pairing information.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		void RegisterAgent(object agent, string capability)

			This registers the adapter wide agent.

			The object path defines the path the of the agent
			that will be called when user input is needed.

			If an application disconnects from the bus all
			of its registered agents will be removed.

			The capability parameter can have the values
			"DisplayOnly", "DisplayYesNo", "KeyboardOnly" and
			"NoInputNoOutput" which reflects the input and output
			capabilities of the agent. If an empty string is
			used it will fallback to "DisplayYesNo".

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists

		void UnregisterAgent(object agent)

			This unregisters the agent that has been previously
			registered. The object path parameter must match the
			same value that has been used on registration.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist

		uint32 AddServiceRecord(string record) [experimental]

			Adds a new service record from the XML description
			and returns the assigned record handle.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		void UpdateServiceRecord(uint32 handle, string record) [experimental]

			Updates a given service record provided in the
			XML format.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.NotAvailable
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		void RemoveServiceRecord(uint32 handle) [experimental]

			Remove a service record identified by its handle.

			It is only possible to remove service records that
			where added by the current connection.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
					 org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		void RequestAuthorization(string address, uint32 handle) [experimental]

			Request an authorization for an incoming connection
			for a specific service record. The service record
			needs to be registered via AddServiceRecord first.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
					 org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

		void CancelAuthorization() [experimental]

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
					 org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
					 org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
					 org.bluez.Error.Failed

Signals		PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)

			This signal indicates a changed value of the given
			property.

		DiscoveryStarted()

			This signal indicates that a device discovery
			procedure has been started.

		DiscoveryCompleted()

			This signal indicates that a device discovery
			procedure has been completed.

		DeviceFound(string address, dict values)

			This signal will be send every time an inquiry result
			has been found by the service daemon. In general they
			only appear during a device discovery.

			The dictionary can contain bascially the same values
			that we be returned by the GetProperties method
			from the org.bluez.Device interface. In addition there
			can be values for the RSSI and the TX power level.

		DeviceDisappeared(string address)

			This signal will be send when an inquiry session for
			a periodic discovery finishes and previously found
			devices are no longer in range or visible.

		DeviceCreated(object device)

			Parameter is object path of created device.

		DeviceRemoved(object device)

			Parameter is object path of removed device.

Properties	string Address [readonly]

			The Bluetooth device address.

		string Name [readwrite]

			The Bluetooth friendly name. This value can be
			changed and a PropertyChanged signal will be emitted.

		string Mode [readwrite]

			The Bluetooth operation mode.

			Valid modes: "off", "connectable",
						"discoverable", "limited"

		uint32 DiscoverableTimeout [readwrite]

			The discoverable timeout in seconds. A value of zero
			means that the timeout is disabled and it will stay in
			discoverable/limited mode forever.

			The default value for the discoverable timeout should
			be 180 seconds (3 minutes).

		boolean PeriodicDiscovery [readwrite]

			Is peridoic inquiry active or not. Changing this
			property will either enable or disable it.
