L2PING(1) Linux System Administration L2PING(1)

NAME
       l2ping - Send L2CAP echo request and receive answer

SYNOPSIS
       l2ping  [-i  ]  [-s size] [-c count] [-t timeout] [-d delay] [-f]
       [-r] [-v] bdaddr


DESCRIPTION
       L2ping sends a L2CAP echo request to the Bluetooth MAC address  bdaddr
       given in dotted hex notation.

OPTIONS
       -i 
              The  command  is applied to device hciX , which must be the name
              of an installed Bluetooth device (X = 0,  1,  2,  ...)   If  not
              specified, the command will be sent to the first available Blue‐
              tooth device.

       -s size
              The size of the data packets to be sent.

       -c count
              Send count number of packets then exit.

       -t timeout
              Wait timeout seconds for the response.

       -d delay
              Wait delay seconds between pings.

       -f     Kind of flood ping. Use with care! It  reduces  the  delay  time
              between packets to 0.

       -r     Reverse  ping  (gnip?).  Send  echo  response  instead  of  echo
              request.

       -v     Verify response payload is identical to request payload.  It  is
              not  required  for  remote stacks to return the request payload,
              but most stacks do (including Bluez).

       bdaddr
              The Bluetooth MAC address to be pinged in  dotted  hex  notation
              like 01:02:03:ab:cd:ef or 01:EF:cd:aB:02:03
