The command "boltctl list" is used to list all connected Thunderbolt devices on your system.

When you run this command, it will provide you with information about each connected Thunderbolt device, such as its name, vendor, security level, and connection status. This can help you identify which Thunderbolt devices are currently plugged into your computer and their associated details.

The "boltctl" tool is a command-line utility provided by the Bolt daemon, which is responsible for managing Thunderbolt devices on Linux systems. It allows you to interact with and control Thunderbolt devices, providing information about their status and allowing you to authorize or restrict their connectivity.
