<section id="GUID-C4E439FA-9081-44A8-8328-686829401409"><title>Architectural relationships</title> <p>The Service Discovery

Agent API is one of two APIs that enable you to use the Bluetooth Service

Discovery Protocol. The other, the <xref href="GUID-756D831F-F302-594C-8116-144358DD8442.dita">Bluetooth

Service Discovery Database</xref>, enables a local service to enter its own

properties into a local service database. </p> </section>

to make Symbian platform Bluetooth SDP requests to a remote device.

There are two basic queries you can make using it: </p> <ul>

<li id="GUID-F1360383-5474-5FE6-BEFD-29FCE6954C89"><p>Getting the services

on the remote device and setting the classes of service for which you want

to query using a <xref href="GUID-745D8374-1012-356B-A15E-6CBC96E64E95.dita"><apiname>CSdpSearchPattern</apiname></xref> object </p> </li>

<li id="GUID-4FDB699D-E73A-53C7-943C-830D88E3B6F8"><p>Getting the attributes

for a specific service and setting a list of attributes to be retrieved using

a <xref href="GUID-7DA0506B-F2C1-374B-847F-8DF070BD2FE9.dita"><apiname>CSdpAttrIdMatchList</apiname></xref> object </p> </li>

the interface <xref href="GUID-AD76DB7F-CD45-3903-A07A-E94BE583CDB0.dita"><apiname>MSdpAgentNotifier</apiname></xref> to receive the responses

to queries. </p> <p>The API also supplies <xref href="GUID-3DE5145D-4D19-3439-A08C-58C0F504B24F.dita"><apiname>CElementParser</apiname></xref>,

to parse a raw input buffer containing an attribute value into its constituent

data elements. </p> </section>
