hcid − Bluetooth Host Controller Interface Daemon
hcid [ −n ] [ −f config−file ]
This manual page documents briefly the hcid daemon, which manages all the Bluetooth devices. hcid itself does not accept many command−line options, as most of its configuration is done in the hcid.conf file, which has its own man page. hcid can also provide a number of services via the D-BUS message bus system.
