10Device hierarchy
11================
12
13Service		org.bluez
14Interface	org.bluez.Device
15Object path	[variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX
16
17Methods		dict GetProperties()
18
19			Returns all properties for the device. See the
20			properties section for available properties.
21
22			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
23					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
24
25		void SetProperty(string name, variant value)
26
27			Changes the value of the specified property. Only
28			properties that are listed a read-write are changeable.
29			On success this will emit a PropertyChanged signal.
30
31			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
32					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
33
34		dict DiscoverServices(string pattern)
35
36			This method starts the service discovery to retrieve
37			remote service records. The pattern parameter can
38			be used to specify specific UUIDs. And empty string
39			will look for the public browse group.
40
41			The return value is a dictionary with the record
42			handles as keys and the service record in XML format
43			as values. The key is uint32 and the value a string
44			for this dictionary.
45
46			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
47					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
48					 org.bluez.Error.InProgress
49
50		void CancelDiscovery()
51
52			This method will cancel any previous DiscoverServices
53			transaction.
54
55			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
56					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
57					 org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
58
59		void Disconnect()
60
61			This method disconnects a specific remote device by
62			terminating the low-level ACL connection. The use of
63			this method should be restricted to administrator
64			use.
65
66			A DisconnectRequested signal will be sent and the
67			actual disconnection will only happen 2 seconds later.
68			This enables upper-level applications to terminate
69			their connections gracefully before the ACL connection
70			is terminated.
71
72			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotConnected
73
74		array{object} ListNodes()
75
76			Returns list of device node object paths.
77
78			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
79					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
80					 org.bluez.Error.OutOfMemory
81
82		object CreateNode(string uuid)
83
84			Creates a persistent device node binding with a
85			remote device. The actual support for the specified
86			UUID depends if the device driver has support for
87			persistent binding. At the moment only RFCOMM TTY
88			nodes are supported.
89
90			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
91					 org.bluez.Error.NotSupported
92
93		void RemoveNode(object node)
94
95			Removes a persistent device node binding.
96
97			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
98					 org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
99
100Signals		PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
101
102			This signal indicates a changed value of the given
103			property.
104
105		DisconnectRequested()
106
107			This signal will be sent when a low level
108			disconnection to a remote device has been requested.
109			The actual disconnection will happen 2 seconds later.
110
111		NodeCreated(object node)
112
113			Parameter is object path of created device node.
114
115		NodeRemoved(object node)
116
117			Parameter is object path of removed device node.
118
119Properties	string Address [readonly]
120
121			The Bluetooth device address of the remote device.
122
123		string Name [readonly]
124
125			The Bluetooth remote name. This value can not be
126			changed. Use the Alias property instead.
127
128		string Icon [readonly]
129
130			Proposed icon name according to the freedesktop.org
131			icon naming specification.
132
133		uint32 Class [readonly]
134
135			The Bluetooth class of device of the remote device.
136
137		array{string} UUIDs [readonly]
138
139			List of 128-bit UUIDs that represents the available
140			remote services.
141
142		boolean Paired [readonly]
143
144			Indicates if the remote device is paired.
145
146		boolean Connected [readonly]
147
148			Indicates if the remote device is currently connected.
149			A PropertyChanged signal indicate changes to this
150			status.
151
152		boolean Trusted [readwrite]
153
154			Indicates if the remote is seen as trusted. This
155			setting can be changed by the application.
156
157		boolean Blocked [readwrite]
158
159			If set to true any incoming connections from the
160			device will be immediately rejected. Any device
161			drivers will also be removed and no new ones will
162			be probed as long as the device is blocked.
163
164		string Alias [readwrite]
165
166			The name alias for the remote device. The alias can
167			be used to have a different friendly name for the
168			remote device.
169
170			In case no alias is set, it will return the remote
171			device name. Setting an empty string as alias will
172			convert it back to the remote device name.
173
174			When reseting the alias with an empty string, the
175			emitted PropertyChanged signal will show the remote
176			name again.
177
178		array{object} Nodes [readonly]
179
180			List of device node object paths.
181
182		object Adapter [readonly]
183
184			The object path of the adpater the device belongs to.
185
186		boolean LegacyPairing [readonly]
187
188			Set to true if the device only supports the pre-2.1
189			pairing mechanism. This property is useful in the
190			Adapter.DeviceFound signal to anticipate whether
191			legacy or simple pairing will occur.
192
193			Note that this property can exhibit false-positives
194			in the case of Bluetooth 2.1 (or newer) devices that
195			have disabled Extended Inquiry Response support.
