Data is exchanged when +an ATT client reads or writes an attribute belonging to an ATT server. Any device that needs to send or receive data +must support both the client and server functionality of the ATT protocol. The only devices which do not support ATT +are the most basic ones: broadcasters and observers (i.e., beaconing devices and listening devices). + +Most ATT functionality is not interesting to an application. Rather than use ATT directly, an application uses the +higher level GATT profile, which sits directly above ATT in the host. NimBLE exposes the few bits of ATT functionality +which are not encompassed by higher level GATT functions. This section documents the ATT functionality that the NimBLE +host exposes to the application. + +API +~~~~~~ + +.. doxygengroup:: bt_host + :content-only: + :members: |
