Re: A non-blocking hci_inquiry

You can run it in a seperate thread
if this is an option for you.  Try man pthread_create for more info...

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
