<title>kbtserialchat: A very simple chat tool</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The kbtserialchat tool is a very simple chat client&server.
|
|
Its primary purpose is for debugging and to serve as an example on how to
|
|
write a bluetooth server that is managed by kbluetoothd
|
|
and how to write a client that can be started with the
|
|
<link linkend="components.tdeio_sdp">SDP tdeioslave</link>.

kbtserialchat implements the Serial Port protocol,
|
|
so when you start it, it will show you all devices which
|
|
provide the Serial Port profile. This will include other computers
|
|
where the KDE Bluetooth Framework is installed, but also
|
|
phones which support this profile.

|
When you are connecting to another kbtserialchat server, then
|
|
kbtserialchat will pop up on the other system and you
|
|
can happily send each other stupid text messages.
|
|
You can also connect to the serial port of Bluetooth phones
|
|
and send arbitrary AT-commands. To dial a number for instance, type
|
|
<command>ATD<number>;</command>.

|
While it may not make much sense to connect kbtserialchat to
|
|
a serial port of a device that uses it to exchange binary
|
|
data, you can use it not only to connect to serial port services, but
|
|
to every service that's based on Rfcomm, like the handsfree or headset
|
|
profile. Since these services are not listed in the dialog on startup,
|
|
you can use the following trick:
|
|
Browse the services of a device with tdeio_sdp (using a <ulink url="sdp:/">sdp:/</ulink>-URL).
|
|
Then instead of simply clicking on the service, right-click on it and
|
|
then select <guimenuitem>Open with...</guimenuitem>.
|
|
Enter <command>kbtserialchat</command> in the dialog, press enter - and
|
|
you're connected.
