NAME
     hccontrol — Bluetooth HCI configuration utility

SYNOPSIS
     hccontrol [-hN] [-n HCI_node_name] command [parameters ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The hccontrol utility connects to the specified Netgraph node of type HCI
     or the first one found if none is specified and attempts to send the
     specified command to the HCI Netgraph node or to the associated Bluetooth
     device.  The hccontrol utility will print results to the standard output
     and error messages to the standard error.

     The options are as follows:

     -h      Display usage message and exit.

     -N      Show Bluetooth addresses as numbers.  Normally hccontrol attempts
	     to resolve Bluetooth addresses, and display them symbolically.

     -n HCI_node_name
	     Connect to the specified HCI Netgraph node.

     command
	     One of the supported commands (see below).  The special command
	     help can be used to obtain the list of all supported commands.
	     To get more information about a specific command use help
	     command.

     parameters
	     One or more optional space separated command parameters.  Many
	     commands require a remote device address as one of the parame‐
	     ters.  The remote device address can be specified as BD_ADDR or a
	     name.  If a name was specified then the hccontrol utility will
	     attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).
