See e.g. the mgmt_new_default() function in src/shared/mgmt.c for an example of creating a mgmt socket that you can use to communicate using the protocol described in mgmt-api.txt. There are also several tools in the source tree that use mgmt sockets, e.g. tools/btmgmt client/bluetoothctl and monitor/btmon. Looking at the source code for those tools may also be helpful.
