Nd Bluetooth Link Key management utility
Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm
Op Fl CcRrWw
Op Fl k Ar key
Fl a Ar address
Fl d Ar device
Nm
Fl Ll
Op Fl d Ar device
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm
program is used to manage Bluetooth Link Key storage.
Keys are normally handled by the
Xr bthcid 8
daemon which caches them in the
Pa /var/db/bthcid.keys
file and provides them as required when Bluetooth connections
need to be authenticated.
Pp
These keys are required for connections between remote
devices and the specific controller
Pq not the Operating System
and so for multi-boot systems where it may not always be possible to
specify the same key across all OS's it can be better to have the
Bluetooth controller provide the keys directly from its semi-permanent
memory once devices are paired.
Nm
will read, write or clear keys in device memory or the key cache
as required.
Pp
Note that without the
Xr bthcid 8
daemon running users will be unable to supply PINs, and Link Keys
resulting from new pairings will not be stored.
If no new pairings are expected and the keys are stored in
the controller then
Xr bthcid 8
is not required.
Pp
The options are as follows:
Bl -tag -width ".Fl a Ar address"
It Fl a Ar address
Specify the remote device address.
May be given as a BDADDR or a name.
It Fl C

It Fl c

It Fl d Ar device
Specify the local device address.
May be given as a BDADDR or a name.
It Fl k Ar key
Supply a Link Key as a string of hexadecimal digits.

will be zero padded to 16 octets.
It Fl L

It Fl l
