kdeconnect-cli: List available (paired and reachable) devices.
$ kdeconnect-cli --list-available
try on your machine

The command "kdeconnect-cli --list-available" is used to list the available devices that can be connected to using KDE Connect.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "kdeconnect-cli": This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for KDE Connect. KDE Connect is a software that allows you to connect and interact seamlessly between your computer and mobile devices, enabling features like file sharing, notifications sync, remote control, and more.

  • "--list-available": This is an argument passed to the "kdeconnect-cli" command. It instructs the CLI tool to list all the devices that are currently available and can be connected to using KDE Connect.

By running this command in the terminal or command prompt, the CLI tool will scan for nearby devices that have KDE Connect installed and are discoverable. It will then display a list of these devices, providing information such as their names, unique identifiers, and connection status. This can be helpful when you want to establish a connection or perform specific actions with a particular device.
