NAME

     spdcontrol -- SDP query utility

SYNOPSIS

     spdcontrol -h
     spdcontrol -a address command [parameters ...]
     spdcontrol -l [-c path] command [parameters ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The spdcontrol utility attempts to query specified Service Discovery Pro-
     tocol (SDP) server.  Remote SDP servers are identified by their address.
     Connection to the local SDP server is made via control socket.  The
     spdcontrol utility will use Service Search Attribute Request and will
     print results to the standard output and error messages to the standard
     error.

     The options are as follows:

     -a address
	     Connect to the remote device with the specified address.  The
	     address can be specified as BD_ADDR or name.  If name was speci-
	     fied then the spdcontrol utility will attempt to resolve the name
	     via bt_gethostbyname(3).

     -c path
	     Specify path to the control socket.  The default path is
	     /var/run/sdp.

     -h      Display usage message and exit.

     -l      Query the local SDP server via the control socket.
