[RFC v4 1/8] dbusoob: Update API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update DBus API so that it better matches inquiry result. It can now
also be used only for OOB discovery (hash and randomizer are optional).

Converting to dictionaries make it also easily extendible e.g. to add
support for BLE when proper whitepaper becomes available.
