bnepd: Start the daemon.
$ bnepd
try on your machine

The command "bnepd" is an abbreviation for "Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol daemon".

A daemon is a background process that runs continuously in a computer's operating system, performing certain tasks or providing specific services.

In this case, "bnepd" is a daemon that facilitates the Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol (BNEP) functionality. BNEP is a protocol used for establishing network connections between Bluetooth-enabled devices, allowing them to share data and establish a network service like Ethernet over Bluetooth.

By executing the "bnepd" command, the BNEP daemon is started, enabling the necessary functionality for Bluetooth network encapsulation.
