17 boltctl is the command line interface to interact with boltd, the
18 system daemon that manages Thunderbolt 3(TM) devices. It can be used to
19 query the state of devices as well as manage them.
20
21 Devices can be globally identified via their unique identifier (uuid).
22 All commands that take a DEVICE identifier expect this unique id.
23
24 If no command is given, it is equivalent to boltctl list.
25
27 authorize DEVICE
28 Authorize a currently unauthorized device identified via its unique id
29 (uuid) DEVICE. If a key is stored in the database it will be used,
30 given the security level of the domain supports secure device
31 connection. Use boltctl list to find out the uuid of a device.
32
33 enroll DEVICE
34 Authorize and record the device with the unique id DEVICE in the
35 database. If the domain supports secure connection a new key will be
36 generated and stored in the database alongside the device name and
37 vendor name. The key, if created, will be used in the future to
38 securely authorize the device.
39
40 forget DEVICE
41 Remove the information about the device with the unique id DEVICE from
42 the database. This includes the key, if one was previously generated.
43
44 info DEVICE
45 Display information about the device with the unique id DEVICE.
46
47 list
48 List and print information about all connected and stored devices.
49
50 monitor
