The command "bluetoothctl devices" is used to display a list of Bluetooth devices that are currently paired or connected to your system.
Here's a breakdown of each element in the command:
-
"bluetoothctl" is the command-line utility for managing Bluetooth devices in Linux. It allows you to interact with the Bluetooth controller, scan for nearby devices, and perform various other operations.
-
"devices" is a sub-command of bluetoothctl. When you run "bluetoothctl devices", it instructs the utility to display a list of all Bluetooth devices that it has discovered and maintained a connection with.
By executing this command, you will see a list containing device information such as the MAC address (Bluetooth address) of each device and its corresponding name. This can be helpful for checking the status of existing Bluetooth connections or identifying devices you want to connect to.
