NAME
       btmgmt - interactive bluetooth management tool

SYNOPSIS
       btmgmt [--options] [commands]

DESCRIPTION
       btmgmt(1) interactive bluetooth management tool. The tool issues
       commands to the Kernel using the Bluetooth Management socket, some
       commands may require net-admin capability in order to work since the
       Bluetooth Management interface is considered a low-level interface
       meant for the likes of bluetoothd(8), it is not recommended for
       applications to use it directly as it may result in unexpected
       behavior.

AUTOMATION
       Two common ways to automate the tool are to pass the commands directly
       like in the follow example:

	  btmgmt <<EOF
	  list
	  show
	  EOF

       Or create a script and pass it as init-script:

	  $ vi test-script.bt
	  list
	  show
	  quit
	  :wq
	  $ btmgmt --init-script=test-script
