OPTIONS ======= -i The command is applied to device *hciX*, which must be the name of an installed Bluetooth device (X = 0, 1, 2, ...) If not specified, the command will be sent to the first available Bluetooth device. -s size The size of the data packets to be sent. -c count Send count number of packets then exit. -t timeout Wait timeout seconds for the response. -d delay Wait delay seconds between pings. -f Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It reduces the delay time between packets to 0. -r Reverse ping (gnip?). Send echo response instead of echo request. -v Verify response payload is identical to request payload. It is not required for remote stacks to return the request payload, but most stacks do (including Bluez). bd_addr The Bluetooth MAC address to be pinged in dotted hex notation like **01:02:03:ab:cd:ef** or **01:EF:cd:aB:02:03** RESOURCES ========= http://www.bluez.org REPORTING BUGS ============== linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org
