IOBluetoothDeviceInquiryMBS.foundDevices as IOBluetoothDeviceMBS()

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Bluetooth	MBS Bluetooth Plugin	18.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Returns found IOBluetoothDevice objects as an array.

Will not return nil. If there are no devices found, returns an array with length of 0.

IOBluetoothDeviceInquiryMBS.setSearchCriteria(ServiceClassMajor as Integer, MajorDeviceClass as Integer, MinorDeviceClass as Integer)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Bluetooth	MBS Bluetooth Plugin	18.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Use this method to set the criteria for the device search.

inServiceClassMajor: Set the major service class for found devices. Set to kBluetoothServiceClassMajorAny for all devices. See BluetoothAssignedNumbers.h for possible values.
inMajorDeviceClass: Set the major device class for found devices. Set to kBluetoothDeviceClassMajorAny for all devices. See BluetoothAssignedNumbers.h for possible values.
inMinorDeviceClass: Set the minor device class for found devices. Set to kBluetoothDeviceClassMinorAny for all devices. See BluetoothAssignedNumbers.h for possible values.

The default inquiry object will search for all types of devices. If you wish to find only keyboards, for example, you might use this method like this:

setSearchCriteria(kBluetoothServiceClassMajorAny, kBluetoothDeviceClassMajorPeripheral, kBluetoothDeviceClassMinorPeripheral1Keyboard)

However, we recommend only using this if you are certain of the device class you are looking for, as some devices may report a different/unexpected device class, and the search may miss the device you are interested in.

IOBluetoothDeviceInquiryMBS.Start

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Bluetooth	MBS Bluetooth Plugin	18.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Tells inquiry object to begin the inquiry and name updating process, if specified.

Sets lasterror to kIOReturnSuccess if start was successful. Returns kIOReturnBusy if the object is already in process. May return other IOReturn values, as appropriate.

Calling start multiple times in rapid succession or back-to-back will probably not produce the intended results. Inquiries are throttled if they are called too quickly in succession.

IOBluetoothDeviceInquiryMBS.Stop

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Bluetooth	MBS Bluetooth Plugin	18.3	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	❌ No	Desktop, Console & Web

Halts the inquiry object.

Could either stop the search for new devices, or the updating of found device names.

Lasterorr is set to kIOReturnSuccess if the inquiry is successfully stopped. Or set to kIOReturnNotPermitted if the inquiry object is already stopped. May set other IOReturn values, as appropriate.
