**btmon** [*OPTIONS* ...]
DESCRIPTION
===========
The btmon(1) command provides access to the Bluetooth subsystem monitor
infrastructure for reading HCI traces.
OPTIONS
=======
-r FILE, --read FILE Read traces in btsnoop format from *FILE*.
-w FILE, --write FILE Save traces in btsnoop format to *FILE*.
-a FILE, --analyze FILE Analyze traces in btsnoop format from *FILE*.
It displays the devices found in the *FILE* with
its packets by type.
-s SOCKET, --server SOCKET Start monitor server socket.
-p PRIORITY, --priority PRIORITY Show only priority or lower for user log.

from the specific controller when the multiple
controllers are presented.
-d TTY, --tty TTY Read data from *TTY*.
-B SPEED, --rate SPEED Set TTY speed. The default *SPEED* is 115300

-t, --time Show a time instead of time offset.
-T, --date Show a time and date information instead of
time offset.
-S, --sco Dump SCO traffic in raw hex format.
-A, --a2dp Dump A2DP stream traffic in a raw hex format.
-E IP, --ellisys IP Send Ellisys HCI Injection.
-P, --no-pager Disable pager usage while reading the log file.
-J OPTIONS, --jlink OPTIONS Read data from RTT. Each options are comma(,)
seprated without spaces.
