HCID(8)			  System management commands		       HCID(8)

NAME
       hcid - Bluetooth Host Controller Interface Daemon

SYNOPSIS
       hcid [ -n ] [ -f config-file ]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page documents briefly the hcid daemon, which manages all
       the Bluetooth devices.  hcid itself does not accept  many  command-line
       options,	 as  most  of its configuration is done in the hcid.conf file,
       which has its own man page.  hcid can also provide a number of services
       via the D-BUS message bus system.
