bluetoothd: Start the daemon with verbose output coming from specific files in the bluetoothd or plugins source.
$ bluetoothd --debug=${filename1}:${filename2}:${filename3}
try on your machine

The command bluetoothd --debug=${filename1}:${filename2}:${filename3} is used to start the Bluetooth daemon with debug logging enabled, and it specifies three log files to which the debug output will be redirected.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • bluetoothd is the executable that starts the Bluetooth daemon, which is a background service responsible for managing Bluetooth connections and devices on a Linux system.
  • --debug is an option that enables debug logging for the daemon, meaning it will generate more detailed logs for troubleshooting purposes.
  • ${filename1}:${filename2}:${filename3} represents three file paths that specify where the debug log output should be redirected. The variables ${filename1}, ${filename2}, and ${filename3} should be substituted with actual file names or paths.

For example, if you want to redirect the logs to debug_file1.txt, debug_file2.txt, and debug_file3.txt, you would replace ${filename1} with debug_file1.txt, ${filename2} with debug_file2.txt, and ${filename3} with debug_file3.txt. The resulting command would look like this:

bluetoothd --debug=debug_file1.txt:debug_file2.txt:debug_file3.txt

This will start the Bluetooth daemon with debug logging enabled, and the debug output will be written to the specified log files, allowing you to analyze and troubleshoot Bluetooth-related issues.
