[arch-general] hcidump is missing?
I try to dump bluetooth traffic to find audio codecs my wireless headphones support -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/425333/how-to-make-aptx-capable-bluetooth-equ... But it looks like I have no hcidump installed. command-not-found says: hcidump may be found in the following packages: extra/bluez-utils 5.42-1 /usr/bin/hcidump I have `bluez-utils` installed. Checking https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/bluez-utils/ I see that it provides `bluez-hcidump`, but no bluez-utils is file list? Was it renamed? Deprecated? What should I use then?

It looks like hcidump is no longer supported: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=b1eb2c4cd057624312... <quote> build: Hide deprecated tools under --enable-deprecated This marks the following tools as deprecated as they are not longer maintained or have been replaced by other tools: hciattach hciconfig hcitool hcidump rfcomm sdptool ciptool gatttool </quote> Though it is not very clear what can be used instead. Otoh; perhaps if you rebuild the PKG with the appropriate flags you can get it back. mvg, Guus Snijders

I think the replacement for hcidump should be btmon (plus btsnoop?) For the rest I think it is like this: - hciattach seems to be replaced by btattach. - hciconfig can probably be replaced by btmgmt nad maybe bluetoothctl. - gatttool looks similar to btgatt-client. - hcitool seems to be replaced by the dbus device api without any commandline tool. - rfcomm and ciptool seems to be missing, they probably want you to use the dbus profile api. - sdptool seems to be missing, you should probably use the different dbus objects like the profile api, the advertising api, and the UUIDs list in device api and adapter api. -- A.

Hello Andy, You seem to have a good knowledge about that - could You probably update wiki pages? Regards P.

Hello Andy,

Regards P. Hello Peter, What I wrote is about the extent of my knowledge. I'll add it to the wiki, though. I was looking for an rfcomm replacement, so I created a list of likely candidates for the deprecated tools. I never tried them and for the time being use rfcomm from the AUR: bluez-utils-compat
