boltctl:tldr:07ce9
The command "boltctl info ${device_uuid}" is used to gather information about a specific Thunderbolt device connected to a system.
Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:
-
"boltctl": It is the command-line tool used to manage Thunderbolt devices in Linux systems. It allows users to list, manage, authorize, and gather information about Thunderbolt devices.
-
"info": This is a subcommand of boltctl used to retrieve detailed information about a specific Thunderbolt device.
-
"${device_uuid}": It is a placeholder representing the UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the Thunderbolt device you want to retrieve information about. The UUID is a unique identifier assigned to each Thunderbolt device when connected to the system.
To use the command, you need to replace "${device_uuid}" with the actual UUID of the Thunderbolt device you want to get information on. This UUID can be obtained through other boltctl commands like "boltctl list" which lists all the connected Thunderbolt devices along with their UUIDs.
