NAME
       rfcomm - RFCOMM configuration utility

SYNOPSIS
       rfcomm [ options ] < command > < dev >

DESCRIPTION
       rfcomm  is  used to set up, maintain, and inspect the RFCOMM configura‐
       tion of the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel. If no  command  is
       given, or if the option -a is used, rfcomm prints information about the
       configured RFCOMM devices.

OPTIONS
       -h     Gives a list of possible commands.

       -a     Prints information about all configured RFCOMM devices.

       -r     Switch TTY into raw mode (doesn't work with "bind").

       -f [file]
	      Specify alternate config file.

       -i <hciX> | <bdaddr>
	      The command is applied to device hciX , which must be  the  name
	      or  the  address of an installed Bluetooth device. If not speci‐
	      fied, the command will be	 use  the  first  available  Bluetooth
	      device.

COMMANDS
       show <dev>
	      Display the information about the specified device.

       connect <dev> [bdaddr] [channel]
	      Connect  the RFCOMM device to the remote Bluetooth device on the
	      specified channel. If no channel is specified, it will  use  the
	      channel  number 1. If also the Bluetooth address is left out, it
	      tries to read the data from the config file. This command can be
	      terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C.

       listen <dev> [channel]
	      Listen  on  a specified RFCOMM channel for incoming connections.
	      If no channel is specified, it will use the  channel  number  1.
	      This command can be terminated with the key sequence CTRL-C.

       bind <dev> [bdaddr] [channel]
	      This  binds  the RFCOMM device to a remote Bluetooth device. The
	      command did not establish a connection to the remote device,  it
	      only  creates  the  binding.  The connection will be established
	      right after an application tries to open the RFCOMM  device.  If
	      no channel number is specified, it uses the channel number 1. If
	      the Bluetooth address is also left out, it  tries	 to  read  the
	      data from the config file.

	      If all is specified for the RFCOMM device, then all devices that
	      have bind yes set in the config will be bound.

       release <dev>
	      This command releases a defined RFCOMM binding.

	      If all is specified for the RFCOMM  device,  then	 all  bindings
	      will be removed.	This command didn't care about the settings in
	      the config file.
