     10 Device hierarchy
     11 ================
     12 
     13 Service		org.bluez
     14 Interface	org.bluez.Device
     15 Object path	[variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX
     16 
     17 Methods		dict GetProperties()
     18 
     19 			Returns all properties for the device. See the
     20 			properties section for available properties.
     21 
     22 			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
     23 					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
     24 
     25 		void SetProperty(string name, variant value)
     26 
     27 			Changes the value of the specified property. Only
     28 			properties that are listed a read-write are changeable.
     29 			On success this will emit a PropertyChanged signal.
     30 
     31 			Possible Errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
     32 					 org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
     33 
     34 		dict DiscoverServices(string pattern)
     35 
     36 			This method starts the service discovery to retrieve
     37 			remote service records. The pattern parameter can
     38 			be used to specify specific UUIDs. And empty string
     39 			will look for the public browse group.
     40 
     41 			The return value is a dictionary with the record
     42 			handles as keys and the service record in XML format
     43 			as values. The key is uint32 and the value a string
     44 			for this dictionary.
     45 
     46 			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
     47 					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
     48 					 org.bluez.Error.InProgress
     49 
     50 		void CancelDiscovery()
     51 
     52 			This method will cancel any previous DiscoverServices
     53 			transaction.
     54 
     55 			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotReady
     56 					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
     57 					 org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized
     58 
     59 		void Disconnect()
     60 
     61 			This method disconnects a specific remote device by
     62 			terminating the low-level ACL connection. The use of
     63 			this method should be restricted to administrator
     64 			use.
     65 
     66 			A DisconnectRequested signal will be sent and the
     67 			actual disconnection will only happen 2 seconds later.
     68 			This enables upper-level applications to terminate
     69 			their connections gracefully before the ACL connection
     70 			is terminated.
     71 
     72 			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotConnected
     73 
     74 		array{object} ListNodes()
     75 
     76 			Returns list of device node object paths.
     77 
     78 			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
     79 					 org.bluez.Error.Failed
     80 					 org.bluez.Error.OutOfMemory
     81 
     82 		object CreateNode(string uuid)
     83 
     84 			Creates a persistent device node binding with a
     85 			remote device. The actual support for the specified
     86 			UUID depends if the device driver has support for
     87 			persistent binding. At the moment only RFCOMM TTY
     88 			nodes are supported.
     89 
     90 			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
     91 					 org.bluez.Error.NotSupported
     92 
     93 		void RemoveNode(object node)
     94 
     95 			Removes a persistent device node binding.
     96 
     97 			Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
     98 					 org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist
     99 
    100 Signals		PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
    101 
    102 			This signal indicates a changed value of the given
    103 			property.
    104 
    105 		DisconnectRequested()
    106 
    107 			This signal will be sent when a low level
    108 			disconnection to a remote device has been requested.
    109 			The actual disconnection will happen 2 seconds later.
    110 
    111 		NodeCreated(object node)
    112 
    113 			Parameter is object path of created device node.
    114 
    115 		NodeRemoved(object node)
    116 
    117 			Parameter is object path of removed device node.
    118 
    119 Properties	string Address [readonly]
    120 
    121 			The Bluetooth device address of the remote device.
    122 
    123 		string Name [readonly]
    124 
    125 			The Bluetooth remote name. This value can not be
    126 			changed. Use the Alias property instead.
    127 
    128 		string Icon [readonly]
    129 
    130 			Proposed icon name according to the freedesktop.org
    131 			icon naming specification.
    132 
    133 		uint32 Class [readonly]
    134 
    135 			The Bluetooth class of device of the remote device.
    136 
    137 		array{string} UUIDs [readonly]
    138 
    139 			List of 128-bit UUIDs that represents the available
    140 			remote services.
    141 
    142 		array{object} Services [readonly]
    143 
    144 			List of characteristics based services.
    145 
    146 		boolean Paired [readonly]
    147 
    148 			Indicates if the remote device is paired.
    149 
    150 		boolean Connected [readonly]
    151 
    152 			Indicates if the remote device is currently connected.
    153 			A PropertyChanged signal indicate changes to this
    154 			status.
    155 
    156 		boolean Trusted [readwrite]
    157 
    158 			Indicates if the remote is seen as trusted. This
    159 			setting can be changed by the application.
    160 
    161 		boolean Blocked [readwrite]
    162 
    163 			If set to true any incoming connections from the
    164 			device will be immediately rejected. Any device
    165 			drivers will also be removed and no new ones will
    166 			be probed as long as the device is blocked.
    167 
    168 		string Alias [readwrite]
    169 
    170 			The name alias for the remote device. The alias can
    171 			be used to have a different friendly name for the
    172 			remote device.
    173 
    174 			In case no alias is set, it will return the remote
    175 			device name. Setting an empty string as alias will
    176 			convert it back to the remote device name.
    177 
    178 			When reseting the alias with an empty string, the
    179 			emitted PropertyChanged signal will show the remote
    180 			name again.
    181 
    182 		array{object} Nodes [readonly]
    183 
    184 			List of device node object paths.
    185 
    186 		object Adapter [readonly]
    187 
    188 			The object path of the adapter the device belongs to.
    189 
    190 		boolean LegacyPairing [readonly]
    191 
    192 			Set to true if the device only supports the pre-2.1
    193 			pairing mechanism. This property is useful in the
    194 			Adapter.DeviceFound signal to anticipate whether
    195 			legacy or simple pairing will occur.
    196 
    197 			Note that this property can exhibit false-positives
    198 			in the case of Bluetooth 2.1 (or newer) devices that
    199 			have disabled Extended Inquiry Response support.
