.SH NAME
btmgmt \- interactive bluetooth management tool
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBbtmgmt\fP [\-\-options] [commands]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBbtmgmt(1)\fP interactive bluetooth management tool. The tool issues commands
to the Kernel using the Bluetooth Management socket, some commands may require
net\-admin capability in order to work since the Bluetooth Management interface
is considered a low\-level interface meant for the likes of \fBbluetoothd(8)\fP,
it is not recommended for applications to use it directly as it may result in
unexpected behavior.
