+/**
+ * Define device discovery, connection and link management procedures.
+ *
+ * - Device discovery: A device can advertise nearby peers of its existence,
+ * identity and capabilities. Similarly, a device can scan its environment to
+ * find advertising peers. The information acquired during the scan helps to
+ * identify peers and understand their use. A scanner may acquire more information
+ * about an advertising peer by sending a scan request. If the peer accepts scan
+ * requests, it may reply with additional information about its state.
+ *
+ * - Connection: A bluetooth device can establish a connection to a connectable
+ * advertising peer. Once the connection is established, both devices can
+ * communicate using the GATT protocol. The GATT protocol allows connected
+ * devices to expose a set of states that the other peer can discover, read and write.
+ *
+ * - Link Management: Connected devices may drop the connection and may adjust
+ * connection parameters according to the power envelop needed for their
+ * application.
+ *
+ * @par Accessing gap
+ *
+ * Instance of a Gap class for a given BLE device should be accessed using
+ * BLE::gap(). The reference returned remains valid until the BLE instance
+ * shut down (see BLE::shutdown()).
+ *
+ * @code
+ * // assuming ble_device has been initialized
+ * BLE& ble_device;
+ *
+ * Gap& gap = ble_device.gap();
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Advertising
+ *
+ * Advertising consists of broadcasting at a regular interval a small amount of
+ * data containing valuable informations about the device. These packets may be
+ * scanned by peer devices listening on BLE advertising channels.
+ *
+ * Scanners may also request additional information from a device advertising by
+ * sending a scan request. If the broadcaster accepts scan requests, it can reply
+ * with a scan response packet containing additional information.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * // assuming gap has been initialized
+ * Gap& gap;
+ *
+ * // construct the packet to advertise
+ * GapAdvertisingData advertising_data;
+ *
+ * // Add advertiser flags
+ * advertising_data.addFlags(
+ *    GapAdvertisingData::LE_GENERAL_DISCOVERABLE |
+ *    GapAdvertisingData::BREDR_NOT_SUPPORTED
+ * );
+ *
+ * // Add the name of the device to the advertising data
+ * static const uint8_t device_name[] = "HRM";
+ * advertising_data.addData(
+ *     GapAdvertisingData::COMPLETE_LOCAL_NAME,
+ *     device_name,
+ *     sizeof(device_name)
+ * );
+ *
+ * // set the advertising data in the gap instance, they will be used when
+ * // advertising starts.
+ * gap.setAdvertisingPayload(advertising_data);
+ *
+ * // Configure the advertising procedure
+ * GapAdvertisingParams advertising_params(
+ *     GapAdvertisingParams::ADV_CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED, // type of advertising
+ *     GapAdvertisingParams::MSEC_TO_ADVERTISEMENT_DURATION_UNITS(1000), // interval
+ *     0 // The advertising procedure will not timeout
+ * );
+ *
+ * gap.setAdvertisingParams(advertising_params);
+ *
+ * // start the advertising procedure, the device will advertise its flag and the
+ * // name "HRM". Other peers will also be allowed to connect to it.
+ * gap.startAdvertising();
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Privacy
+ *
+ * Privacy is a feature that allows a device to avoid being tracked by other
+ * (untrusted) devices. The device achieves it by periodically generating a
+ * new random address. The random address may be a resolvable random address,
+ * enabling trusted devices to recognise it as belonging to the same
+ * device. These trusted devices receive an Identity Resolution Key (IRK)
+ * during pairing. This is handled by the SecurityManager and relies on the
+ * other device accepting and storing the IRK.
+ *
+ * Privacy needs to be enabled by calling enablePrivacy() after having
+ * initialised the SecurityManager since privacy requires SecurityManager
+ * to handle IRKs. The behaviour of privacy enabled devices is set by
+ * using setCentralPrivacyConfiguration() which specifies what the device
+ * should be with devices using random addresses. Random addresses
+ * generated by privacy enabled device can be of two types: resolvable
+ * (by devices who have the IRK) and unresolvable. Unresolvable addresses
+ * can't be used for connecting and connectable advertising therefore a
+ * resolvable one will be used for these regardless of the privacy
+ * configuration.
+ *
+ * @par Scanning
+ *
+ * Scanning consist of listening for peer advertising packets. From a scan, a
+ * device can identify devices available in its environment.
+ *
+ * If the device scans actively, then it will send scan request to scannable
+ * advertisers and collect their scan response.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * // assuming gap has been initialized
+ * Gap& gap;
+ *
+ * // Handle advertising packet by dumping their content
+ * void handle_advertising_packet(const AdvertisementCallbackParams_t* packet)
+ * {
+ *    printf("Packet received: \r\n");
+ *    printf("  - peer address: %02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X\r\n",
+ *           packet->peerAddr[5], packet->peerAddr[4], packet->peerAddr[3],
+ *           packet->peerAddr[2], packet->peerAddr[1], packet->peerAddr[0]);
+ *    printf("  - rssi: %d", packet->rssi);
+ *    printf("  - scan response: %s\r\n", packet->isScanresponse ? "true" : "false");
+ *    printf("  - advertising type: %d\r\n", packet->type);
+ *    printf("  - advertising type: %d\r\n", packet->type);
+ *    printf("  - Advertising data: \r\n");
+ *
+ *    // parse advertising data, it is a succession of AD structures where
+ *    // the first byte is the size of the AD structure, the second byte the
+ *    // type of the data and remaining bytes are the value.
+ *
+ *    for (size_t i = 0; i < packet->advertisingDataLen; i += packet->advertisingData[i]) {
+ *        printf("    - type: 0X%02X, data: ", packet->advertisingData[i + 1]);
+ *        for (size_t j = 0; j < packet->advertisingData[i] - 2; ++j) {
+ *            printf("0X%02X ", packet->advertisingData[i + 2 + j]);
+ *        }
+ *        printf("\r\n");
+ *    }
+ * }
+ *
+ * // set the scan parameters
+ * gap.setScanParams(
+ *      100, // interval between two scan window in ms
+ *      50,  // scan window: period during which the device listen for advertising packets.
+ *      0,   // the scan process never ends
+ *      true // the device sends scan request to scannable peers.
+ * );
+ *
+ * // start the scan procedure
+ * gap.startScan(handle_advertising_packet);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Connection event handling
+ *
+ * A peer may connect device advertising connectable packets. The
+ * advertising procedure ends as soon as the device is connected.
+ *
+ * A device accepting a connection request from a peer is named a peripheral,
+ * and the device initiating the connection is named a central.
+ *
+ * Peripheral and central receive a connection event when the connection is
+ * effective.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * Gap& gap;
+ *
+ * // handle connection event
+ * void when_connected(const ConnectionCallbackParams_t *connection_event) {
+ *    // If this callback is entered, then the connection to a peer is effective.
+ * }
+ *
+ * // register connection event handler, which will be invoked whether the device
+ * // acts as a central or a peripheral
+ * gap.onConnection(when_connected);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Connection initiation
+ *
+ * Connection is initiated central devices.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * // assuming gap has been initialized
+ * Gap& gap;
+ *
+ * // Handle the connection event
+ * void handle_connection(const ConnectionCallbackParams_t* connection_event)
+ * {
+ *    // event handling
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Handle advertising packet: connect to the first connectable device
+ * void handle_advertising_packet(const AdvertisementCallbackParams_t* packet)
+ * {
+ *    if (packet->type != GapAdvertisingParams::ADV_CONNECTABLE_UNDIRECTED) {
+ *       return;
+ *    }
+ *
+ *    // register connection event handler
+ *    gap.onConnection(handle_connection);
+ *
+ *    Gap::ConnectionParams_t connection_parameters = {

+ *       100, // max connection interval

+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par disconnection
+ *
+ * The application code initiates a disconnection when it calls the
+ * disconnect(Handle_t, DisconnectionReason_t) function.
+ *
+ * Disconnection may also be initiated by the remote peer or the local
+ * controller/stack. To catch all disconnection events, application code may
+ * set up an handler taking care of disconnection events by calling
+ * onDisconnection().
