SDPQUERY(1)                 General Commands Manual                SDPQUERY(1)

NAME
     sdpquery - Service Discovery Protocol query utility

SYNOPSIS
     sdpquery [-NRX] [-d device] -a address command [parameters ...]
     sdpquery [-NRX] [-c path] -l command [parameters ...]

DESCRIPTION
     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:

     -a 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.

     -c path           Specify path to the control socket.  The default path
                       is /var/run/sdp.

     -d 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.

     -l                Query the local SDP server via the control socket.

     -N                Additionally display numerical values.

     -R                Display service attributes in raw (uninterpreted)
                       format.

     -X                Display service attribute values in hex.

     The currently supported commands in sdpquery are:

     Browse [group]
             Browse for services.  The group parameter is the UUID of the
             group to browse.  If omitted, the "Public Browse Group" is used.

     Record handle [handle...]
             Retrieve the Service Record with the given handle.  Multiple
             handles can be given.

     Search uuid [uuid...]
             Search for records matching the list of UUIDs which can be given
             in numerical form, or the following aliases are known:
