NAME
       hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack

SYNOPSIS
       hciattach [ -n ] [ -p ] [ -t timeout ] < tty > < type | id > [ speed ]
       [ flow ]

DESCRIPTION
       Hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the	 Bluetooth  stack  as
       HCI transport interface.

OPTIONS
       -n     Don't detach from controlling terminal.

       -p     Print the PID when detaching.

       -ttimeout
	      Specify an initialization timeout.  (Default is 5 seconds.)

       <tty>  This  specifies the serial device to attach. A leading /dev can
	      be omitted. Examples: /dev/ttyS1 ttyS2

       
	      The type or id of the Bluetooth device that is to be  attached,
	      i.e. vendor or other device specific identifier. Currently sup-
	      ported types are

	      type   description

	      any    Unspecified  HCI_UART  interface,	no  vendor   specific
		     options

	      The  speed  specifies  the  UART speed to use. Baudrates higher
	      than 115.200bps require vendor  specific	initializations	 that
	      are  not	implemented  for all types of devices. In general the
	      following speeds are supported:

	      9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600

	      Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to their
	      respective best settings.

        If  the  keyword	flow  is appended to the list of options then
	      hardware flow control is forced on the serial link ( CRTSCTS ).
	      All  above  mentioned device types have flow set by default. To
	      force no flow control use noflow instead.
