SYNOPSIS
       bluetoothctl [--options] [advertise.commands]

ADVERTISE OPTIONS COMMANDS
   uuids
       Set/Get advertise uuids.

       Usage  > uuids [all/uuid1 uuid2 ...]

       Example
	      > uuids 0x1234

       Example
	      > uuids 0x12345678

       Example

   solicit
       Set/Get advertise solicit uuids.	 :Usage: # solicit [all/uuid1 uuid2
       ...]

   service
       Set/Get advertise service data.

       Usage  > service [uuid] [data=xx xx ...]

   manufacturer
       Set/Get advertise manufacturer data.

       Updating is in real time while advertising. This is currently limited
       to 25 bytes and will return an error message of "Too much data" if that
       maximum has been exceeded. However, this does not check if the
       advertising payload length maximum has been exceeded so you  may
       receive an error from bluetoothd that it "Failed to register
       advertisement" which means you need to reduce your manufacturer data
       length.

       Usage  > manufacturer [id] [data=xx xx ...]

   data
       Set/Get advertise data.

       This allows you to advertise data with a given type. You cannot use a
       registered data type value {1} with  this command. For LE the
       advertising shows up in the primary advertisements.

       If you set only the type of the data without any data (data 0x0c) this
       will cause a parse error when turning advertise on.

       You can modify the advertising data while it is advertising.

       To get the currently set data use the command data without any
       arguments.

       Usage  > data [type] [data=xx xx ...]

       Example
	      > data 0x0C 01 0x0F 13

   sr-uuids
       Set/Get scan response uuids.

       Usage  # sr-uuids [all/uuid1 uuid2 ...]

   sr-solicit
       Set/Get scan response solicit uuids.  :Usage: # sr-solicit [all/uuid1
       uuid2 ...]

   sr-service
       Set/Get scan response service data.

       Usage  # sr-service [uuid] [data=xx xx ...]

   sr-manufacturer
       Set/Get scan response manufacturer data.

       Usage  # sr-manufacturer [id] [data=xx xx ...]

   sr-data
       Set/Get scan response data.  :Usage: # sr-data [type] [data=xx xx ...]

   discoverable
       Set/Get advertise discoverable.

       For LE discoverable on will set the LE General Discoverable Mode flag
       to true in the primary advertisement if on.

       This feature can be changed during advertising, but will only trigger
       LE General Discoverable Mode even if you had previously selected
       discoverable-timeout this will be ignored.

       Entering the command by itself will show the status of the setting

       Usage  > discoverable [on/off]

   discoverable-timeout
       Set/Get advertise discoverable timeout.

       Using this feature in LE will cause the LE Limited Discoverable Mode
       flag to be set in the primary advertisement and	 The LE General
       Discoverable Mode flag will not be set.

       The LE Limited Discoverable Mode flag will automatically turn off after
       [seconds] discoverable [on] must be set to use this feature.

       Entering the command by itself will show the current value set.

       Usage  > discoverable-timeout [seconds]

   tx-power
       Show/Enable/Disable TX power to be advertised.

       This sets the TX Power Level field in the advertising packet.

       The value is in dBm and can be between -127 and 127.

       When this feature is turned on the LE device will advertise its
       transmit power in the primary advertisement.

       This feature can be modified while advertising.

       Entering the command by itself will show the current value set.

       Usage  > tx-power [on/off] [power]

   name
       Configure local name to be advertised.

       Local name to be used in the advertising report.

       If the string is too big to fit into the packet it will be truncated.

       It will either advertise as a complete local name or if it has to be
       truncated then a shortened local name.

       Usage  > name [on/off/name]

       Example
	      > name "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"

   appearance
       Configure custom appearance to be advertised.

       Usage  > appearance [on/off/value]

   duration
       Set/Get advertise duration.

       The Duration parameter configures the length of an Instance.

       The value is in seconds.

       A value of 0 indicates a default value is chosen for the Duration.

       The default is 2 seconds.

       If only one advertising Instance has been added, then the Duration
       value will be ignored.

       If multiple advertising Instances have been added, then the Duration
       value will be used to determine the length of time each Instance is
       advertised for.

       The Duration value is used to calculate the number of advertising
       events that will be used to advertise each Instance.

       The number of advertising events is calculated by dividing the Duration
       value by the advertising interval.

       The advertising interval is determined by the advertising parameters
       that are set for each Instance. The advertising interval is the maximum
       of the advertising intervals set for each Instance.

       Usage  > duration [seconds]

   timeout
       Set/Get advertise timeout.

       Usage  > timeout [seconds]

   secondary
       Set/Get advertise secondary channel.

       Usage  > secondary [1M/2M/Coded]

   interval
       Set/Get advertise interval.

       The Interval parameter configures the advertising interval of an
       Instance.

       The value is in milliseconds.

       A value of 0 indicates a default value is chosen for the Interval.

       The default is 100 milliseconds.

       The Interval value is used to calculate the number of advertising
       events that will be used to advertise each Instance.

       The number of advertising events is calculated by dividing the Duration
       value by the advertising interval.

       The advertising interval is determined by the advertising parameters
       that are set for each Instance.

       The advertising interval is the maximum of the advertising intervals
       set for each Instance.

       Usage  > interval [milliseconds]

   clear
       Clear advertise config.

       This will stop advertising if it is currently advertising.

       If you want to change the advertise configuration while advertising you
       must first clear the advertise configuration and then set the new
       advertise configuration.

       Usage  > clear [uuids/service/manufacturer/config-name...]
