BlueZ D-Bus Agent API description ********************************** Agent Manager hierarchy ======================= Service org.bluez Interface org.bluez.AgentManager1 Object path /org/bluez void RegisterAgent(object agent, string capability) This registers an agent handler. The object path defines the path of the agent that will be called when user input is needed. Every application can register its own agent and for all actions triggered by that application its agent is used. It is not required by an application to register an agent. If an application does chooses to not register an agent, the default agent is used. This is on most cases a good idea. Only application like a pairing wizard should register their own agent. An application can only register one agent. Multiple agents per application is not supported. The capability parameter can have the values "DisplayOnly", "DisplayYesNo", "KeyboardOnly", "NoInputNoOutput" and "KeyboardDisplay" which reflects the input and output capabilities of the agent. If an empty string is used it will fallback to "KeyboardDisplay". Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments org.bluez.Error.AlreadyExists void UnregisterAgent(object agent) This unregisters the agent that has been previously registered. The object path parameter must match the same value that has been used on registration. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist void RequestDefaultAgent(object agent) This requests is to make the application agent the default agent. The application is required to register an agent. Special permission might be required to become the default agent. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.DoesNotExist Agent hierarchy =============== Service unique name Interface org.bluez.Agent1 Object path freely definable Methods void Release() This method gets called when the service daemon unregisters the agent. An agent can use it to do cleanup tasks. There is no need to unregister the agent, because when this method gets called it has already been unregistered. string RequestPinCode(object device) This method gets called when the service daemon needs to get the passkey for an authentication. The return value should be a string of 1-16 characters length. The string can be alphanumeric. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected org.bluez.Error.Canceled void DisplayPinCode(object device, string pincode) This method gets called when the service daemon needs to display a pincode for an authentication. An empty reply should be returned. When the pincode needs no longer to be displayed, the Cancel method of the agent will be called. This is used during the pairing process of keyboards that don't support Bluetooth 2.1 Secure Simple Pairing, in contrast to DisplayPasskey which is used for those that do. This method will only ever be called once since older keyboards do not support typing notification. Note that the PIN will always be a 6-digit number, zero-padded to 6 digits. This is for harmony with the later specification. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected org.bluez.Error.Canceled uint32 RequestPasskey(object device) This method gets called when the service daemon needs to get the passkey for an authentication. The return value should be a numeric value between 0-999999. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected org.bluez.Error.Canceled void DisplayPasskey(object device, uint32 passkey, uint16 entered) This method gets called when the service daemon needs to display a passkey for an authentication. The entered parameter indicates the number of already typed keys on the remote side. An empty reply should be returned. When the passkey needs no longer to be displayed, the Cancel method of the agent will be called. During the pairing process this method might be called multiple times to update the entered value. Note that the passkey will always be a 6-digit number, so the display should be zero-padded at the start if the value contains less than 6 digits. void RequestConfirmation(object device, uint32 passkey) This method gets called when the service daemon needs to confirm a passkey for an authentication. To confirm the value it should return an empty reply or an error in case the passkey is invalid. Note that the passkey will always be a 6-digit number, so the display should be zero-padded at the start if the value contains less than 6 digits. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected org.bluez.Error.Canceled void RequestAuthorization(object device) This method gets called to request the user to authorize an incoming pairing attempt which would in other circumstances trigger the just-works model, or when the user plugged in a device that implements cable pairing. In the latter case, the device would not be connected to the adapter via Bluetooth yet. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected org.bluez.Error.Canceled void AuthorizeService(object device, string uuid) This method gets called when the service daemon needs to authorize a connection/service request. Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.Rejected org.bluez.Error.Canceled void Cancel() This method gets called to indicate that the agent request failed before a reply was returned.
