D-Bus API description for BlueZ
*******************************
Copyright (C) 2004-2006 Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
Manager hierarchy
=================
Service org.bluez
Interface org.bluez.Manager
Object path /org/bluez/Manager/
Methods array{string} ListDevices()
Returns list of object paths under /org/bluez/Device/
string DefaultDevice()
Returns object path for the default device.
Signals void DeviceAdded(string path)
Parameter is object path of added device.
void DeviceRemoved(string path)
Parameter is object path of removed device.
Device hierarchy
================
Service org.bluez
Interface org.bluez.Device
Object path /org/bluez/Device/{hci0,hci1,...}/
Methods string GetAddress()
Returns the device address for a given path.
Example: "00:11:22:33:44:55"
string GetVersion()
Returns the version of the Bluetooth chip. This version
is compiled from the LMP version. In case of EDR the
features attribute must be checked.
Example: "Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR"
string GetRevision()
Returns the revision of the Bluetooth chip. This is a
vendor specific value and in most cases it represents
the firmware version. This might derive from the HCI
revision and LMP subversion values or via extra vendor
specific commands.
Example: "HCI 19.2"
string GetManufacturer()
Returns the manufacturer of the Bluetooth chip.
Example: "Cambridge Silicon Radio"
string GetCompany()
Returns the company name from the OUI database of the
Bluetooth device address. This function will need a
valid and up-to-date oui.txt from the IEEE. This value
will be different from the manufacturer string in the
most cases.
Example: "Apple Computer"
array{string} GetFeatures()
Returns list of features supported by the device. This
list is only for showing them in the UI. No application
should implement different behaviors based on these
strings.
string GetMode()
Returns the current mode of a device.
Valid modes: "off", "connectable", "discoverable"
void SetMode(string mode)
Sets mode of the device. See GetMode for valid strings
for the mode parameter.
uint32 GetDiscoverableTimeout()
Returns the discoverable timeout in seconds. A value
of zero means that the timeout is disabled and it will
stay in discoverable mode forever.
The default value for the discoverable timeout should
be 180 seconds (3 minutes).
void SetDiscoverableTimeout(uint32 timeout)
Sets the discoverable timeout in seconds. A value of
zero disables the timeout and the device would be
always discoverable.
Changing this value doesn't set the device into
discoverable mode. The SetMode method must be used.
boolean IsConnectable()
Returns true if the local device is connectable and
false if it is switched off.
It is also possible to use GetMode to retrieve this
information.
boolean IsDiscoverable()
Returns true if the local device is discoverable and
false if it is only connectable or switched off.
It is also possible to use GetMode to retrieve this
information.
string GetMajorClass()
Returns the current major class value for this
system. This value is set to "computer" for now.
string GetMinorClass()
Returns the current minor class value for this
system where the default major class is "computer".
Valid values: "uncategorized", "desktop", "server",
"laptop", "handheld", "palm", "wearable"
The default value is "uncategorized".
void SetMinorClass(string minor)
Sets the local minor class and on success it sends
a MinorClassChanged signal.
array{string} GetServiceClasses()
Returns the current set of service classes.
Valid values: "positioning", "networking", "rendering",
"capturing", "object transfer", "audio",
"telephony", "information"
string GetName()
Returns the local device name (friendly name) in UTF-8.
void SetName(string name)
Sets the local device name. If EIR is supported by the
local hardware this modifies also the extended response
data value.
string GetRemoteName(string address)
Get device name for a remote device. This request
returns always a cached name. The service daemon is
responsible for updating the cache.
If this is an empty value, then no remote name
available at the moment. The UI should show the
address in this case.
Example: "00:11:22:33:44:55", "Nokia 770"
string GetRemoteVersion(string address)
Get the version info for a remote device. This request
returns always this information based on its cached
data. The base for this string is the LMP version
value and the features for EDR support.
Example: "Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR"
string GetRemoteAlias(string address)
Returns alias name for remote device. If this is
an empty value, then no alias has been defined so far.
This is the default case and the UI should show the
remote name instead.
An alias should supersede the remote name.
void SetRemoteAlias(string address, string alias)
Sets alias name for remote device. If alias name is
empty, then no alias is set.
On success the SetRemoteAlias method will produce a
RemoteAliasChanged signal which applications can use
to update their current display of the remote device
name.
string LastSeen(string address)
Returns the date and time when the device has been
seen by a discover procedure.
Example: "2006-02-08 12:00:00 GMT"
string LastUsed(string address)
Returns the date and time of the last time when the
device has been connected.
Example: "2006-02-08 12:00:00 GMT"
void CreateBonding(string address)
This method creates a bonding with a remote device.
If a link key for this device already exists, this
procedure should fail instead of trying to create a
new pairing.
void RemoveBonding(string address)
This method removes the bonding with a remote device.
For security reasons this includes removing the actual
link key and also disconnecting any open connections
for the remote device.
If the link key was stored on the Bluetooth chip, it
must be removed from there, too.
boolean HasBonding(string address)
Returns true if the remote device is bonded and false
if no link key is available.
array{string} ListBondings()
List device addresses of currently bonded device.
uint8 PinCodeLength(string address)
Returns the PIN code length that was used in the
pairing process.
uint8 EncryptionKeySize(string address)
Returns the currently used encryption key size.
This method will fail if no connection to that device
has been established.
Signals void ModeChanged(string mode)
If the current mode is changed with SetMode this signal
will inform about the new mode.
This signal can also be triggered by low-level HCI
commands.
void MinorClassChanged(string minor)
After changing the minor class with SetMinorClass this
signal will provide the new class value.
void NameChanged(string name)
After changing the local device name with SetName this
signal will provide the new name.
This signal can also be triggered by low-level HCI
commands.
void RemoteNameChanged(string address, string name)
This signal will be send every time the service daemon
detect a new name for a remote device.
void RemoteAliasChanged(string address, string alias)
After changing an alias with SetRemoteAlias this signal
will indicate the new alias.
void BondingCreated(string address)
Signals that a successful bonding has been created.
void BondingFailed(string address)
Signals that a bonding has failed.
void BondingRemoved(string address)
Signals that a bonding was removed.
