DESCRIPTION
L2ping sends a L2CAP echo request to the Bluetooth MAC address
bd_addr
given in dotted hex notation.
OPTIONS
- -i <hciX>
-
The command is applied to device
hciX
, which must be the name of an installed Bluetooth device (X = 0, 1, 2, ...)
If not specified, the command will be sent to the first available Bluetooth
device.
- -s size
-
The
size
of the data packets to be sent.
- -c count
-
Send
count
number of packets then exit.
- -t timeout
-
Wait
timeout
seconds for the response.
- -d delay
-
Wait
delay
seconds between pings.
- -f
-
Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It reduces the delay time between packets
to 0.
- -r
-
Reverse ping (gnip?). Send echo response instead of echo request.
- -v
-
Verify response payload is identical to request payload. It is not required for
remote stacks to return the request payload, but most stacks do (including
Bluez).
- bd_addr
-
The Bluetooth MAC address to be pinged in dotted hex notation like
01:02:03:ab:cd:ef
or
01:EF:cd:aB:02:03
