    \class QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent
    \inmodule QtBluetooth
    \brief The QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent class discovers the Bluetooth
    devices nearby.
 
    \since 5.2
 
    To discover the nearby Bluetooth devices:
    \list
    \li create an instance of QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent,
    \li connect to either the deviceDiscovered() or finished() signals,
    \li and call start().
    \endlist
 
    \snippet doc_src_qtbluetooth.cpp device_discovery
 
    To retrieve results asynchronously, connect to the deviceDiscovered() signal. To get a list of
    all discovered devices, call discoveredDevices() after the finished() signal.
 
    This class can be used to discover Classic and Low Energy Bluetooth devices.
    The individual device type can be determined via the
    \l QBluetoothDeviceInfo::coreConfigurations() attribute.
    In most cases the list returned by \l discoveredDevices() contains both types
    of devices. However not every platform can detect both types of devices.
    On platforms with this limitation (for example iOS only suports Low Energy discovery),
    the discovery process will limit the search to the type which is supported.
 
    \note Since Android 6.0 the ability to detect devices requires ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
 
    \note The Win32 backend currently does not support the Received Signal Strength
    Indicator (RSSI), as well as the Manufacturer Specific Data, or other data
    updates advertised by Bluetooth LE devices after discovery.

    \enum QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::Error
 
    Indicates all possible error conditions found during Bluetooth device discovery.
 
    \value NoError          No error has occurred.
    \value PoweredOffError  The Bluetooth adaptor is powered off, power it on before doing discovery.
    \value InputOutputError    Writing or reading from the device resulted in an error.
    \value InvalidBluetoothAdapterError The passed local adapter address does not match the physical
                                        adapter address of any local Bluetooth device.
    \value [since 5.5] UnsupportedPlatformError Device discovery is not possible or implemented
                                                on the current platform. The error is set in
                                                response to a call to \l start(). An example for
                                                such cases are iOS versions below 5.0 which do
                                                not support Bluetooth device search at all.
    \value [since 5.8] UnsupportedDiscoveryMethod   One of the requested discovery methods is not
                                                    supported by the current platform.
    \value [since 6.2] LocationServiceTurnedOffError    The location service is turned off.
                                                        Usage of Bluetooth APIs is not possible
                                                        when location service is turned off.
    \value [since 6.4] MissingPermissionsError  The operating system requests
                                                permissions which were not
                                                granted by the user.
    \value UnknownError     An unknown error has occurred.

/*!
    \fn void QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::deviceDiscovered(const QBluetoothDeviceInfo &info)
 
    This signal is emitted when the Bluetooth device described by \a info is discovered.
 
    The signal is emitted as soon as the most important device information
    has been collected. However, as long as the \l finished() signal has not
    been emitted the information collection continues even for already discovered
    devices. This is particularly true for signal strength information (RSSI) and
    manufacturer data updates. If the use case requires continuous manufacturer data
    or RSSI updates it is advisable to retrieve the device information via
    \l discoveredDevices() once the discovery has finished or listen to the
    \l deviceUpdated() signal.
 
    If \l lowEnergyDiscoveryTimeout() is larger than 0 the signal is only ever
    emitted when at least one attribute of \a info changes. This reflects the desire to
    receive updates as more precise information becomes available. The exception to this
    behavior is the case when \l lowEnergyDiscoveryTimeout is set to \c 0. A timeout of \c 0
    expresses the desire to monitor the appearance and disappearance of Low Energy devices
    over time. Under this condition the \l deviceDiscovered() signal is emitted even if
    \a info has not changed since the last signal emission.

    \fn void QBluetoothDeviceDiscoveryAgent::deviceUpdated(const QBluetoothDeviceInfo &info, QBluetoothDeviceInfo::Fields updatedFields)
 
    This signal is emitted when the agent receives additional information about
    the Bluetooth device described by \a info. The \a updatedFields flags tell
    which information has been updated.
 
    During discovery, some information can change dynamically, such as
    \l {QBluetoothDeviceInfo::rssi()}{signal strength} and
    \l {QBluetoothDeviceInfo::manufacturerData()}{manufacturerData}.
    This signal informs you that if your application is displaying this data, it
    can be updated, rather than waiting until the discovery has finished.

    \note \a methods only determines the type of discovery and does not imply

    {LowEnergyMethod} only. This may happen due to previously cached search results
    which may be incorporated into the search results.
 
    \note Some platforms (e.g. Windows) may also provide cached results for
    the devices that are not currently advertising. Other platforms
    (like \c {iOS}) only provide information about currently advertising
    devices. You can store the received device UUID (or Bluetooth address)
    upon first discovery, and then use it later to establish a connection
    directly (see
    \l {QBluetoothDeviceInfo::QBluetoothDeviceInfo(const QBluetoothUuid &uuid, const QString &name, quint32 classOfDevice)}
