hcitool: Output the name of a device, returning its MAC address.
$ hcitool name ${bdaddr}
try on your machine
The command "hcitool name ${bdaddr}" is used to retrieve the user-friendly name of a Bluetooth device with the specified Bluetooth address (bdaddr).
Here's how it works:
- "hcitool" is a command-line tool in Linux that allows for Bluetooth device configuration and interaction.
- "name" is an option or subcommand of hcitool, used specifically to get the user-friendly name of a Bluetooth device.
- "${bdaddr}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with a specific Bluetooth device address. The Bluetooth device address (bdaddr) is a unique identifier assigned to each Bluetooth device.
To use this command effectively, you need to provide the actual Bluetooth address (bdaddr) of the device you want to retrieve the name from.
