Missing Linux Bluetooth Headers

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

 



Hello,

Could you explain why Linux kernel do not provide any header files for
its sockets?

For example: "socket(AF_BLUETOOTH, SOCK_RAW, BTPROTO_HCI)"
I do not need a userspace (BlueZ [and do not want it]) to communicate
with kernel, but no Linux headers is a problem. Add dependency to
BlueZ is ugly, because  I do not depend on BlueZ, but Linux kernel.
Also BlueZ is not used in project like "libpcap".

I see that BlueZ have those headers in "lib" directory (sources).
Linux have them in "include/net/bluetooth" but they are not installed
(by "make headers_install").

I think Linux should provide Bluetooth headers files. I see that CAN
(#include <linux/can.h>) do that.

I see that you also try to synchronize with kernel side... (why you do
not use it?)
