     rfcomm_sppd -- RFCOMM Serial Port Profile daemon

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rfcomm_sppd [-bh] -a BD_ADDR -c channel -t tty

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The rfcomm_sppd utility is a Serial Port Profile daemon.  It opens RFCOMM
     connection to the specified server's BD_ADDR and channel.	Once connection
 is established, the rfcomm_sppd utility provides access to the
     server's remote serial port via pty(4) interface.

     The rfcomm_sppd utility opens both master and slave pseudo terminals.
     This is done to ensure that RFCOMM connection stays open until
     rfcomm_sppd is terminated.  The data received from the master pseudo terminal
 are sent over the RFCOMM connection.  The data received from the
     RFCOMM connection are written into master pseudo terminal.  The application
 in its turn opens the slave pseudo terminal and operates on it just
     like it would operate over the standard serial port.

     The options are as follows:

     -a BD_ADDR
	     This required option specifies the remote BD_ADDR of the RFCOMM
	     server.

     -b      Detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in background.

     -c channel
	     This option specifies RFCOMM channel to connect to.  The channel
	     must provide Serial Port service.	If channel was not specified
	     then rfcomm_sppd utility will try to obtain RFCOMM channel via
	     Service Discovery Protocol from the server.

     -h      Display usage message and exit.

     -t tty  Slave pseudo tty name.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

	   rfcomm_sppd -a 00:01:02:03:04:05 -c 1 -t /dev/ttyp1

     Will start the rfcomm_sppd utility and open RFCOMM connection to the
     server at 00:01:02:03:04:05 and channel 1.  Once the connection has been
     established, /dev/ttyp1 can be used to talk to the remote serial port on
     the server.
