+
+Service org.bluez
+Interface org.bluez.HealthManager
+Object path /org/bluez/
+
+Methods:
+
+ object CreateApplication(dict config)
+
+ Returns the path of the new registered application.
+
+ Dict is defined as below:
+ {
+ "DataType": uint16, (mandatory)
+ "Role" : ("Source" or "Sink"), (mandatory)
+ "Description" : string, (optional)
+ "ChannelType" : ("Reliable" or "Streaming")
+ (just for Sources, optional)
+ }
+
+ Application will be closed by the call or implicitly when the
+ programs leaves the bus.
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
+
+ void DestroyApplication(object application)
+
+ Closes the HDP application identified by the object path. Also
+ application will be closed if the process that started it leaves
+ the bus. Only the creator of the application will be able to
+ destroy it.
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
+ org.bluez.Error.NotFound
+ org.bluez.Error.NotAllowed

+
+Service org.bluez
+Interface org.bluez.HealthDevice
+Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX
+
+Methods:
+
+ dict GetProperties()
+
+ Returns all properties for the interface. See the properties
+ section for available properties.
+
+ Posible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotAllowed
+
+ Boolean Echo()
+
+ Sends an echo petition to the remote service. Returns True if
+ response matches with the buffer sent. If some error is detected
+ False value is returned.
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
+ org.bluez.Error.OutOfRange
+
+ object CreateChannel(object application, string configuration)
+
+ Creates a new data channel.
+ The configuration should indicate the channel quality of
+ service using one of this values "Reliable", "Streaming", "Any".
+
+ Returns the object path that identifies the data channel that
+ is already connected.
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
+ org.bluez.Error.HealthError
+
+ void DestroyChannel(object channel)
+
+ Destroys the data channel object. Only the creator of the
+ channel or the creator of the HealtApplication that received the
+ data channel will be able to destroy it
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.InvalidArguments
+ org.bluez.Error.NotFound
+ org.bluez.Error.NotAllowed
+
+Signals:
+
+ void ChannelConnected(object channel)
+
+ This signal is launched when a new data channel is created or
+ when a known data channel is reconnected.
+
+ void ChannelDeleted(object channel)
+
+ This signal is launched when a data channel is deleted.
+
+ After this signal the data channel path will not be valid and
+ its path can be reused for future data channels.
+
+ void PropertyChanged(string name, variant value)
+
+ This signal indicates a changed value of the given property.
+
+Properties:
+
+ object MainChannel [readonly]
+
+ The first reliable channel opened. It is needed by upper
+ applications in order to send specific protocol data units. The
+ first reliable can change after a reconnection.

+
+Service org.bluez
+Interface org.bluez.HealthChannel
+Object path [variable prefix]/{hci0,hci1,...}/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX/chanZZZ
+
+Only the process that created the data channel or the creator of the
+HealthApplication that received it will be able to call this methods.
+
+Methods:
+
+ dict GetProperties()
+
+ Returns all properties for the interface. See the properties
+ section for available properties.
+
+ Posible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotAllowed
+
+ fd Acquire()
+
+ Returns the file descriptor for this data channel. If the data
+ channel is not connected it will also reconnect.
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotConnected
+ org.bluez.Error.NotAllowed
+
+ void Release()
+
+ Releases the fd. Application should also need to close() it.
+
+ Possible errors: org.bluez.Error.NotAcquired
+ org.bluez.Error.NotAllowed
+
+Properties:
+
+ string Type [readonly]
+
+ The quality of service of the data channel. ("Reliable" or
+ "Streaming")
+
+ object Device [readonly]
+
+ Identifies the Remote Device that is connected with. Maps with
+ a HealthDevice object.
+
+ object Application [readonly]
+
+ Identifies the HealthApplication to which this channel is
+ related to (which indirectly defines its role and data type).
