SDPQUERY(1) General Commands Manual SDPQUERY(1)

sdpquery — Service Discovery Protocol query utility

sdpquery [-NRX] [-d device] -a address command [parameters ...]

sdpquery [-NRX] [-c path] -l command [parameters ...]

The sdpquery utility attempts to query the specified Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) server. Remote SDP servers are identified by their address. Connection to the local SDP server is made via the control socket. The sdpquery utility retrieves complete Service Records as directed and prints each record's attribute ID/value list to standard output and error messages to standard error.

The options are as follows:

address
Connect to the remote device with the specified address. The address can be specified as BD_ADDR or a name. If a name was specified, the sdpquery utility attempts to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3). If no remote address is given, sdpquery attempts to contact a local SDP server via the control socket.
path
Specify path to the control socket. The default path is /var/run/sdp.
device
Connect from the local device with the specified address. The device can be specified by BD_ADDR or device name. See btconfig(8) for a list of devices available. If no device is specified, the sdpquery utility will use the best available.
Query the local SDP server via the control socket.
Additionally display numerical values.
