SYNOPSIS
btmgmt [options] [command]
DESCRIPTION
btmgmt is an interactive Bluetooth management tool that issues commands to the kernel using the Bluetooth Management socket. It provides low-level control of Bluetooth adapter settings, discovery, and pairing functionality.
The tool is part of the BlueZ Bluetooth stack and uses the management interface available since Linux kernel 3.4.

CAVEATS
Some commands require net-admin capability or root privileges. This is a low-level interface meant for bluetoothd; applications should use D-Bus APIs instead. Direct use may cause unexpected behavior with the Bluetooth daemon.
