L2PING(1)                 Linux System Administration                L2PING(1)

NAME
       l2ping - Send L2CAP echo request and receive answer

SYNOPSIS
       l2ping [OPTIONS] bd_addr

DESCRIPTION
       l2ping(1) 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
