Constant definitions
====================

The class of device definition from the Bluetooth specification divides into
three different parts. It the major class, the minor class and the service
classes. The D-Bus interface will always use string constants to identify
any of these classes.

Service classes		positioning, networking, rendering, capturing,
			object transfer, audio, telephony, information

Major classes		miscellaneous, computer, phone, access point,
			audio/video, peripheral, imaging, wearable, toy,
			uncategorized

Minor classes computer	uncategorized, desktop, server, laptop, handheld,
			palm, wearable

Minor classes phone	uncategorized, cellular, cordless, smart phone,
			modem, isdn

Minor classes access point	fully, 1-17 percent, 17-33 percent,
			33-50 percent, 50-67 percent, 67-83 percent,
			83-99 percent, not available

Minor classes audio video	uncategorized, headset, handsfree,microphone,
			loudspeaker, headphones, portable audio, car audio,
			set-top box, hifi audio, vcr, video camera, camcorder,
			video monitor, video display and loudspeaker,
			video conferencing, gaming/toy, unknown

Minor classes peripheral	uncategorized, keyboard, pointing, combo

Minor classes imaging	display, camera, scanner, printer

Minor classes toy	robot, vehicle, doll, controller, game

Error hierarchy
===============

Interface	org.bluez.Error

Shared Errors (Can be thrown by hcid or any bluetooth service)

		DeviceUnreachable

			The remote device is either powered down or out of range.

		AlreadyConnected
			A connection request has been received on an already
			connected device.

		ConnectionAttemptFailed

			An unexpected error (other than DeviceUnreachable) error
			has occured while attempting a connection to a device.

		NotConnected
			The remote device is not connected, while the method call
			would expect it to be, or is not in the expected state to
			perform the action.

		InProgress

			Error returned if an operation is in progress. Since
			this is a generic error that can be used in various
			situations, the error message should be more clear
			about what is in progress. For example "Bonding in
			progress".

		InvalidArguments

			The DBUS request does not contain the right number of
			arguments with the right type, or the arguments are there
			but their value is wrong, or does not makes sense in the
			current context.

		OutOfMemory

			Error returned when a memory allocation via malloc()
			fails. This error is similar to ENOMEM.

		NotAvailable

			Error returned when a specified record is not
			available.

		NotSupported

			The remote device does not support the expected
			feature.

		AlreadyExists
			One of the requested elements already exists

		DoesNotExist
			One of the requested elements does not exist

		Canceled
			The operation was canceled.

		Failed

			This is a the most generic error.
			It is thrown when something unexpected happens.


Hcid specific Errors (Can be thrown by hcid only)

		NotReady

			Error returned when the adapter is DOWN.

		UnknwownMethod

			This is an experimental method.

		NotAuthorized

			Error returned when the caller of a method is not
			authorized. This might happen if a caller tries to
			terminate a connection that it hasn't created.

			a cached name. The service daemon is responsible for
			updating the cache.

			NotAvailable error is returned if the name is not in
			the cache. But if there is a discovery running, then
			this function will return RequestDeferred.  In this
			case the service daemon will queue the request and
			it will try to resolve the name at the next possible
			opportunity. On success a RemoteNameUpdated signal will
			be send and if a failure happens it will be indicated by
			a RemoteNameFailed signal.

			If this is an empty string, the UI might want to
			display the BD_ADDR instead.

			Example: "00:11:22:33:44:55", "Nokia 770"

			This method creates a bonding with a remote device.

			If a link key for this adapter already exists, this
			procedure should fail instead of trying to create a
			new pairing.

			If no connection to the remote device exists, a
			low-level ACL connection must be created.

			This function will block and the calling application
			should take care of setting are higher timeout. This
			might be needed in case of a page timeout from the
			low-level HCI commands.

Security hierarchy
==================

Service		org.bluez
Interface	org.bluez.Security
Object path	/org/bluez or /org/bluez/{hci0,hci1,...}

Methods		void RegisterDefaultPasskeyAgent(string path)

			This registers the default passkey agent. It can
			register a passkey for all adapters or for a
			specific device depending on with object path has
			been used.

			The path parameter defines the object path of the
			passkey agent that will be called when a passkey
			needs to be entered.

			If an application disconnects from the bus all
			registered passkey agent will be removed.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists

		void UnregisterDefaultPasskeyAgent(string path)

			This unregisters a default passkey agent that has
			been previously registered. The object path and
			the path parameter must match the same values that
			has been used on registration.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist

		void RegisterPasskeyAgent(string path, string address)

			This registers the application passkey agent that
			will be used for any application specific passkey
			tasks.

			The path parameter defines the object path of the
			passkey agent that will be called when a passkey
			needs to be entered. The address defines the remote
			device that it will answer passkey requests for.

			If an application disconnects from the bus all
			registered passkey agent will be removed. It will
			also be unregistered after a timeout and if the
			pairing succeeds or fails. The application has to
			take care of that it reregisters the passkey agent.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists

		void UnregisterPasskeyAgent(string path, string address)

			This unregisters a passkey agent that has been
			previously registered. The object path and the path
			and address parameter must match the same values
			that has been used on registration.

			The method is actually only needed if an application
			wants to removed the passkey agent and don't wanna
			wait for the automatic timeout.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist

		void RegisterDefaultAuthorizationAgent(string path)

			This registers the default authorization agent. It can
			register an authorization agent for all adapters or
			for a specific one depending on which object path has
			been used.

			The path parameter defines the object path of the
			authorization agent that will be called when an
			authorization request needs to be answered.

		void UnregisterDefaultAuthorizationAgent(string path)

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


PasskeyAgent hierarchy
======================

Service		unique name
Interface	org.bluez.PasskeyAgent
Object path	freely definable

Methods		string Request(string path, string address)

			This method gets called when the service daemon
			needs to get the passkey for an authentication. The
			return value is actual passkey. It is a 1 to 16
			byte PIN code in UTF-8 format.

			The first argument contains the path of the local
			adapter and the second one the remote address.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected
			                 org.bluez.Error.Canceled

		void Cancel(string path, string address)

			This method gets called to indicate that the
			authentication request failed before a reply was
			returned by the Request method.

		void Release()

			This method gets called when the service daemon
			unregisters a passkey agent. An agent can use
			it to do cleanup tasks. There is no need to
			unregister the agent, because when this method
			gets called it has already been unregistered.


AuthorizationAgent hierarchy (experimental)
===========================================

Service		unique name
Interface	org.bluez.AuthorizationAgent
Object path	freely definable

Methods		void Authorize(string adapter_path, string address,
					string service_path, string uuid)

			This method gets called when the service daemon wants
			to get an authorization for accessing a service. This
			method should return if the remote user is granted
			access or an error otherwise.

			The adapter_path parameter is the object path of the
			local adapter. The address, service_path and action
			parameters correspond to the remote device address,
			the object path of the service and the uuid of the
			profile.

			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected
			                 org.bluez.Error.Canceled

		void Cancel(string adapter_path, string address,
					string service_path, string uuid)

			This method cancels a previous authorization request.
			The adapter_path, address, service_path and uuid
			parameters must match the same values that have been
			used when the Authorize() method was called.

		void Release()

			This method gets called when the service daemon
			unregisters an authorization agent. An agent can
			use it to do cleanup tasks. There is no need to
			unregister the agent, because when this method
			gets called it has already been unregistered.
