BthGetCurrentMode

  • Article

This function retrieves the current mode of the ACL connection to the peer that is specified by the Bluetooth address. This function is equivalent to BTH_HCI_IOCTL_GET_HANDLE_MODE HCI IOCTL.

Note   To preserve Win32 compatibility, consider using the Winsock equivalent of this function. To do so, pass SO_BTH_GET_MODE as the optname value in getsockopt.

int BthGetCurrentMode(
  BT_ADDR* pba,
  unsigned char* pmode
);

Parameters

  • pba
