[Bluez PATCH 3/3] doc: Add Name Resolve Fail flag in device found event

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

 



From: Archie Pusaka <apusaka@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Userspace should use this new flag to decide whether to do the remote
name resolving or not, by sending Confirm Name MGMT command and set
the appropriate flag.

This patch also extends the Confirm Name command by allowing userspace
to send 0x02 to show it doesn't care about the peer devices names.
