start_rfcomm_server() and start_obex_server() sound very useful for a
higher-level api. For me, the flexibility would be in providing a
lower-level socket interface with the standard bsd socket functions
like to create and bind sockets. Like having bluez sockets, but with
obex functionality added that you can fit onto existing RFCOMM sockets.
The custom transport support in openobex is really useful, and I have
been able to use that to use a custom serverfd; it would just be nice
to set the serverfd so I could use the existing openobex bluetooth
transport implementation instead. But I can see that in many cases you
only need to tell a server what port to use, and not the details such
as the file descriptor.

I'd like to set the serverfd because I'm developing an API for RFCOMM

OBEX communication. The ideal approach would be to allow the
programmer to
create a RFCOMM server socket, bind to an available port, and then
use that
socket for either RFCOMM or OBEX communication as they see fit. This
seems
more flexible and customisable than running an OBEX server on a port
designated through the openobex api. And since OBEX communication has
an
underlying RFCOMM channel, and RFCOMM channels can be started on
user-designated ports, it seems to makes sense for my api to allow
OBEX
services to be run on user-designated ports too.
What's wrong with providing
start_rfcomm_server(int port);
start_obex_server(int port);
in the API?
Where is the extra flexibility in allowing the application programmer
to
create a socket himself, exactly?
