Bluetooth packet logger

[jvdsn]

What problem are you trying to solve?

The libimobiledevice project has a CLI tool called idevicebtlogger to log Bluetooth packets. Note that this is not the same as general PCAPs, this operates on the Bluetooth HCI layer. Currently no such tool exists for pymobiledevice3.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new CLI tool that uses the "com.apple.bluetooth.BTPacketLogger" service to generate packet logs (preferably btsnoop format) from an iDevice.

Describe alternatives you've considered

libimobiledevice idevicebtlogger

I don't have a BT device to test this with nor am I familiar enough with HCI sniffing. PRs for that are welcome :)

Thanks, I'll take a look. I was planning to implement this one myself at some point, I should be able to verify it with some of the device we have lying around.
