Example usage and output
[-c] [--threshold-rssi THRESHOLD_RSSI]
[--connection-polling-interval CONNECTION_POLLING_INTERVAL]
Scan for Bluetooth Low Energy devices and gather information about them. This
program will only run on Linux systems.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-V, --version display version information and exit
-v, --verbose increase the verbosity of the program
-d, --debug enable debugging features
-o OUT_PATH, --out-path OUT_PATH
path to the device registry backup
-i BACKUP_INTERVAL, --backup-interval BACKUP_INTERVAL

written (in seconds, default 5 s). If set to zero, the
backup will be written with every device update.
-r, --resume resume from a previous device registry backup (must
specify the `-o` option)
-c, --connect attempt to connect to all discovered Bluetooth devices
--threshold-rssi THRESHOLD_RSSI
the lower bound received signal strength (RSSI) at
which to attempt to connect to devices (in dBa,
default -80 dBa).
--connection-polling-interval CONNECTION_POLLING_INTERVAL
how frequently the sniffer shall go through the device
registry and attempt to establish connections (in
seconds, default 5 s).
