.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI
transport interface.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-b
Send break.
.TP
.B \-n
Don't detach from controlling terminal.
.TP
.B \-p
Print the PID when detaching.
.TP
.BI \-t " timeout"
Specify an initialization timeout.  (Default is 5 seconds.)
.TP
.BI \-s " speed"
Specify an initial speed instead of the hardware default.
.TP
.B \-l
List all available configurations.
.TP
.B \-r
Set the HCI device into raw mode (the kernel and bluetoothd will ignore it).
.TP
.I tty
This specifies the serial device to attach. A leading
.B /dev
can be omitted. Examples:
.B /dev/ttyS1
.B ttyS2
.TP
.IR type \||\| id
The
.I type
or
.I id
of the Bluetooth device that is to be attached, i.e. vendor or other device
specific identifier. Currently supported types are
.RS
.TP

.TP
.I speed
The
.I speed
specifies the UART speed to use. Baudrates higher than 115.200bps require
vendor specific initializations that are not implemented for all types of
devices. In general the following speeds are supported:

.B 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600

Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to their respective
best settings.
.TP
.I flow
If the keyword
.I flow
is appended to the list of options then hardware flow control is forced on
the serial link (
.B CRTSCTS
). All above mentioned device types have
.B flow
set by default. To force no flow control use
.B noflow
instead.
.TP
.I sleep
Enables hardware specific power management feature. If
.I sleep
is appended to the list of options then this feature is enabled. To disable
this feature use
.B nosleep
instead.
All above mentioned device types have
.B nosleep
set by default.

Note: This option will only be valid for hardware which support
hardware specific power management enable option from host.
.TP
.I bdaddr
The
.I bdaddr
specifies the Bluetooth Address to use.  Some devices (like the STLC2500)
do not store the Bluetooth address in hardware memory.  Instead it must
be uploaded during the initialization process.  If this argument
is specified, then the address will be used to initialize the device.
Otherwise, a default address will be used.
