BLUETOOTHCTL-TRANSPORT(1)			   Linux System Administration

NAME
       bluetoothctl-transport - Media Transport Submenu

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

MEDIA TRANSPORT COMMANDS
   list
       List available transports.

       Usage  > list

   show
       Show transport information.

       Usage  > show [transport]

   acquire
       Acquire transport.

       Usage  > acquire <transport> [transport1...]

       Note:

       If running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support
       (such as PipeWire) it will automatically acquire transports according
       to the configured roles.

   select
       Select transport. For transports created on a Broadcast Sink device
       only. This moves the transport to the "broadcasting" state, pending
       acquire.

       Usage  > select <transport> [transport1...]

       Note:

       If the select command receives a list of transports, they will first be
       linked using the "Links" MediaTransport property. They will then be
       selected one by one, by calling the "Select" MediaTransport method.
       After the first transport is acquired, the Broadcast Sink will create
       fds for the associated stream and all its links. Each link can then be
       acquired one by one, setting the fd for the transport and starting to
       receive audio.

       The select command does not require a local endpoint to be registered
       beforehand. This is because if the setup runs with an audio server that
       has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire), the audio server is the one to
       register endpoints and the transports are created as a result.  Once a
       transport is selected, the audio server will automatically acquire.

   unselect
       Unselect transport. For transports created on a Broadcast Sink device
       only. This moves the transport to the "idle" state, pending release by
       the audio server. If the transport was acquired by bluetoothctl it can
       be released straight away, without having to be unselected.

       Usage  > unselect <transport> [transport1...]

       Note: If running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio
       support (such as PipeWire), it will prompt it to automatically release
       the transport.

   release
       Release transport.

       Usage  > release <transport> [transport1...]

       Note:

       Transports acquired by an audio server, can only be released by said
       audio server.

   send
       Send contents of a file.

       Usage  > send <transport> <filename>

   receive
       Get/Set file to receive.

       Usage  > receive <transport> [filename]

   volume
       Get/Set transport volume.

       Usage  > volume <transport> [value]
