          there  are  no  listening  AF_BLUETOOTH  sockets.  If  MASTER is
          present, the device will ask to become master  if  a  connection
          request  comes  in. If ACCEPT is present, the device will accept
          baseband  connections  even  when   there   are   no   listening
