Bluetooth

Library for monitoring bluez over dbus.

Installation

1. install dependencies

:::code-group

sudo pacman -Syu meson vala gobject-introspection

sudo dnf install meson gcc valac gobject-introspection-devel

sudo apt install meson valac gobject-introspection

:::

::: info Although bluez is not a direct build dependency, it should be self-explanatory that the daemon is required to be available at runtime. :::

2. clone repo

git clone https://github.com/aylur/astal.git
cd astal/lib/bluetooth

3. install

meson setup build
meson install -C build

:::tip Most distros recommend manual installs in /usr/local, which is what meson defaults to. If you want to install to /usr instead which most package managers do, set the prefix option:

meson setup --prefix /usr build

:::

Usage

You can browse the Bluetooth reference.

CLI
