RFCOMM_SPPD(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual RFCOMM_SPPD(1) NAME rfcomm_sppd -- RFCOMM Serial Port Profile daemon SYNOPSIS rfcomm_sppd [-bh] -a address -c channel [-t tty] DESCRIPTION The rfcomm_sppd utility is a Serial Port Profile daemon. It opens RFCOMM connection to the specified address server and channel. Once connection is established, the rfcomm_sppd utility provides access to the server's remote serial port via stdin/stdout or via pty(4) interface if -t option was specified. The rfcomm_sppd utility opens both master and slave pseudo terminals. This is done to ensure that RFCOMM connection stays open until rfcomm_sppd is terminated. The data received from the master pseudo ter- minal are sent over the RFCOMM connection. The data received from the RFCOMM connection are written into master pseudo terminal. The applica- tion in its turn opens the slave pseudo terminal and operates on it just like it would operate over the standard serial port. The options are as follows: -a address This required option specifies the address of the remote RFCOMM server. The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or name. If name was specified then the rfcomm_sppd utility will attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3). -b Detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in background. -c channel This option specifies RFCOMM channel to connect to. RFCOMM chan- nel could either be a number between 1 and 30 or a service name. Supported service names are: DUN (for DialUp Networking service), FAX (for Fax service), LAN (for LAN Access Using PPP service) and SP (for Serial Port service). If channel was not specified then rfcomm_sppd utility will try to obtain RFCOMM channel for Serial Port service via Service Discovery Protocol from the server. -h Display usage message and exit. -t tty Slave pseudo tty name. If not set stdin/stdout will be used. This option is required if -b option was specified. EXAMPLES rfcomm_sppd -a 00:01:02:03:04:05 -c 1 -t /dev/ttyp1 Will start the rfcomm_sppd utility and open RFCOMM connection to the server at 00:01:02:03:04:05 and channel 1. Once the connection has been established, /dev/ttyp1 can be used to talk to the remote serial port on the server.
