It should be possible to simulate an asynchronous discovery with some
kind of background process that does the inquiry and places the results
in a file or something like that -- then another program can pick up the
results from the file. I'm doing something similar within a Java process
and communicate the results through a container object...
There is also larger issue here with how multiple tasks can access the
inquiry results without blocking, which I think would have solutions
similar to making inquiry asynchronous...

Subject: [Bluez-users] A non-blocking hci_inquiry
Is it possible to perform an inquiry that doesn't block?
The reason I ask is this: for a decent user experience in my GNOME
Bluetooth work I have a remote device chooser dialog, which I want to
immediately display the devices it knows of and then start a background
scan.
Unfortunately there's no way of stopping an inquiry once started, and
the user must then wait until the inquiry end before any other action
can be performed.
Can anyone offer any help? Or if not, consider this a wishlist item for
a future version. Being able to do asynchronous scans is very handy for
user interface issues.
thanks
