regarding the license, this is more of a hobby project, so GPL is perfect.
Looking at hci.{c,h}, there is (except for the license) not a single
comment that would help explain things (to bluetooth-newcomers). The
functions might have descriptive names, but I'm missing the bigger picture.
Reading ibeacon.c, I get the impression the code is made for sending
advertisements, not for receiving them. I might be wrong though, there's
no comments either. None of the other filenames in tools/ made me hope I
could find sample code for receiving non-connectable advertisements.
Marcel, could you either point me to some sample code, or help me
understand hci.c (or list the required steps) so that I can write my own?
thanks!
