or a name. If a name was specified, the
btpinutility attempts to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3). -ddevice- Specify the local device address. The device can be specified by BD_ADDR or device name. See btconfig(8) for a list of devices available. If no device is specified, the PIN will be valid for any local device.
-llen- Specify length of PIN to generate, where 1 ≤ len ≤ 16.
-P- Pair with remote device.
btpinwill attempt to open an authenticated L2CAP connection to the Service Discovery Service on the remote device, to force immediate pairing. -ppin- The PIN to register. The PIN may be up to 16 bytes in length.
-r- Generate a random PIN, the default length is 4 bytes.
-spath- Specify path to the control socket. The default path is /var/run/bthcid.
