NAME
       bluetoothd - Bluetooth daemon

SYNOPSIS
       bluetoothd [--version] | [--help]

       bluetoothd  [--nodetach]	 [--compat] [--experimental] [--debug=<files>]
       [--plugin=<plugins>] [--noplugin=<plugins>]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the bluetoothd daemon, which manages
       all the Bluetooth devices. bluetoothd can also provide a number of
       services via the D-Bus message bus system.

OPTIONS

       -v, --version
	      Print bluetoothd version and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Print bluetoothd options and exit.

       -n, --nodetach
	      Enable logging in foreground. Directs log output to the
	      controlling terminal in addition to syslog.

       -f, --configfile
	      Specifies an explicit config file path instead of relying on the
	      default path(/etc/bluetooth/main.conf) for the config file.

       -d, --debug=<file1>:<file2>:...
	      Sets how much information bluetoothd sends to the log
	      destination (usually syslog's "daemon" facility). If the file
	      options are omitted, then debugging information from all the
	      source files are printed. If file options are present, then only
	      debug prints from that source file are printed. The option can
	      be a pattern containing "*" and "?" characters.

	      Example: --debug=src/adapter.c:src/agent.c

       -p, --plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..
	      Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing
	      "*" and "?" characters.

       -P, --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,..
	      Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing
	      "*" and "?"  characters.

       -C, --compat
	      Provide deprecated command line interfaces.

       -E, --experimental
	      Enable D-Bus experimental interfaces.  These interfaces are not
	      guaranteed to be compatible or present in future releases.

       -T, --testing
	      Enable D-Bus testing interfaces.	These interfaces are only
	      meant for test validation of the internals of bluetoothd and
	      shall not never be used by anything other than that.

       -K, --kernel=<uuid1>,<uuid2>,...
	      Enable Kernel experimental features. Kernel experimental
	      features are considered unstable and may be removed from future
	      kernel releases.

FILES

       /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
	      Location of the global configuration file.
