Bluetooth and socket

The socket function creates a socket for incoming or outgoing connections.:

To create a socket using Bluetooth, use the following settings:

  • The af parameter of the socket function is always set to AF_BTH for Bluetooth sockets.
  • The type parameter of the socket function is always SOCK_STREAM; SOCK_DGRAM sockets are not supported by Bluetooth.
  • For the protocol parameter, BTHPROTO_RFCOMM is the supported protocol.

For more information, see Windows Sockets.
