33 .Nd Bluetooth HID daemon
46 daemon handles remote Bluetooth HID devices.
48 The options are as follows:
49 .Bl -tag -width indent
51 Specify the local address to listen on.
52 By default, the server will listen on
55 The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or name.
56 If a name was specified, the
58 daemon will attempt to resolve the name via
59 .Xr bt_gethostbyname 3 .
61 Specify path to the configuration file.
63 .Pa /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf .
65 Do not detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in foreground.
67 Specify path to the known HIDs file.
69 .Pa /var/db/bthidd.hids .
71 Display usage message and exit.
73 Specify path to the PID file.
75 .Pa /var/run/bthidd.pid .
77 Specify client rescan interval in seconds.
80 daemon will periodically scan for newly configured Bluetooth HID devices or
83 Bluetooth HID devices and will attempt to establish an outgoing connection.
84 The default rescan interval is 10 seconds.
89 daemon currently does not handle key auto repeat and double click mouse events.
90 Those events work under
93 but not in text console.
95 This manual page needs more work.
96 A manual page documenting the format of the
97 .Pa /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf
98 configuration file is needed as well.
100 .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf" -compact

112 Any Bluetooth HID device that has
116 entries in its descriptor is considered as
120 Bluetooth HID device,
123 daemon will use a separate instance of the virtual keyboard interface
127 driver must be used to properly multiplex input from multiple keyboards.
