BTPIN(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		      BTPIN(1)

NAME
     btpin — Bluetooth PIN utility

SYNOPSIS
     btpin [-P] [-d device] [-s path] {-p pin | -r [-l len]} -a address

DESCRIPTION
     The btpin utility is used to register a temporary PIN with the bthcid(8)
     daemon for the purposes of pairing Bluetooth devices.  The PIN will be
     valid for 5 minutes or until used, whichever comes first.

     The options are as follows:

     -a address
	     Specify the remote device address.	 The address can be specified
	     as BD_ADDR or a name.  If a name was specified, the btpin utility
	     attempts to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).

     -d device
	     Specify the local device address.	The device can be specified by
	     BD_ADDR or device name.  See btconfig(8) for a list of devices
	     available.	 If no device is specified, the PIN will be valid for
	     any local device.

     -l len  Specify length of PIN to generate, where 1 ≤ len ≤ 16.

     -P	     Pair with remote device.  btpin will attempt to open an authenti‐
	     cated L2CAP connection to the Service Discovery Service on the
	     remote device, to force immediate pairing.

     -p pin  The PIN to register.  The PIN may be up to 16 bytes in length.

     -r	     Generate a random PIN, the default length is 4 bytes.

     -s path
	     Specify path to the control socket.  The default path is
	     /var/run/bthcid.

EXIT STATUS
     The btpin utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

FILES
     /var/run/bthcid
