33.Sh NAME
34.Nm sdpd
35.Nd Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol daemon
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Nm
38.Op Fl dh
39.Op Fl c Ar path
40.Op Fl G Ar group
41.Op Fl g Ar group
42.Op Fl u Ar user
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46daemon keeps track of the Bluetooth services registered on the host
47and responds to Service Discovery inquiries from the remote Bluetooth devices.
48.Pp
49In order to use any service remote Bluetooth device need to send Service
50Search and Service Attribute or Service Search Attribute request over
51Bluetooth L2CAP connection on SDP PSM (0x0001).
52The
53.Nm
54daemon will try to find matching Service Record in its Service Database
55and will send appropriate response back.
56The remote device then will process the response, extract all required
57information and will make a separate connection in order to use the service.
58.Pp
59Bluetooth applications, running on the host, register services with
60the local
61.Nm
62daemon.
63Operation like service registration, service removal and service change are
64performed over the control socket.
65It is possible to query entire content of the
66.Nm
67Service Database with
68.Xr sdpquery 1
69by issuing
70.Cm browse
71command on the control socket.
72.Pp
73The command line options are as follows:
74.Bl -tag -width indent
75.It Fl d
76Do not detach from the controlling terminal.
77.It Fl c Ar path
78Specify path to the control socket.
79The default path is
80.Pa /var/run/sdp .
81.It Fl G Ar group
82Grant permission to members of the
83.Ar group
84to modify the
85.Nm
86Service Database.
87.It Fl g Ar group
88Specifies the group the
89.Nm
90should run as after it initializes.
91The value specified may be either a group name or a numeric group ID.
92This only works if
93.Nm
94was started as root.
95The default group name is
96.Dq Li _sdpd .
97.It Fl h
98Display usage message and exit.
99.It Fl u Ar user
100Specifies the user the
101.Nm
102should run as after it initializes.
103The value specified may be either a user name or a numeric user ID.
104This only works if
105.Nm
106was started as root.
107The default user name is
108.Dq Li _sdpd .
109.El
110.Sh CAVEATS
111The
112.Nm
113daemon
114will listen for incoming L2CAP connections on a wildcard BD_ADDR.
115.Pp
116In case of multiple Bluetooth devices connected to the same host it is
117possible to specify which services should be
118.Dq bound
119to which Bluetooth device.
120Such assignment should be done at service registration time.
121.Pp
122Requests to register, remove or change service can only be made via the
123control socket.
124The
125.Nm
126daemon will check the peer's credentials and will only accept the request
127when the peer is the superuser, of if the peer is a member of the group
128specified with the
129.Fl G
130option.
131.Pp
132The
133.Nm
134daemon does not check for duplicated Service Records.
135It only performs minimal checking on the service data sent in the Service
136Register request.
137It is assumed that application must obtain all required resources such
138as RFCOMM channels etc., before registering the service.
