bluetoothctl:tldr:06c93
The command "bluetoothctl pair ${mac_address}" is used to pair a Bluetooth device with a specific mac address.
Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
-
"bluetoothctl": It is a command-line utility for Bluetooth configuration on Linux-based systems. It provides a command-line interface for managing Bluetooth devices and their connections.
-
"pair": It is a subcommand of "bluetoothctl" used to initiate the pairing process between your Bluetooth-enabled device and another device using its MAC address.
-
"${mac_address}": It is a placeholder for the specific MAC address (also known as the Bluetooth address) of the device you want to pair with. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to each Bluetooth device and is used to establish a connection with the desired device.
To use the command, you need to replace "${mac_address}" with the actual MAC address of the device you want to pair with. Once executed, the command will attempt to pair with the specified device using Bluetooth.
