SYNOPSIS
       boltctl authorize DEVICE

       boltctl forget DEVICE
       boltctl info DEVICE
       boltctl list
       boltctl monitor

DESCRIPTION
       boltctl is the command line interface to interact with boltd, the
       system daemon that manages Thunderbolt 3(TM) devices. It can be used to
       query the state of devices as well as manage them.

       Devices can be globally identified via their unique identifier (uuid).
       All commands that take a DEVICE identifier expect this unique id.

       If no command is given, it is equivalent to boltctl list.

COMMANDS
   authorize DEVICE
       Authorize a currently unauthorized device identified via its unique id
       (uuid) DEVICE. If a key is stored in the database it will be used,
       given the security level of the domain supports secure device
       connection. Use boltctl list to find out the uuid of a device.

   enroll DEVICE
       Authorize and record the device with the unique id DEVICE in the
       database. If the domain supports secure connection a new key will be
       generated and stored in the database alongside the device name and
       vendor name. The key, if created, will be used in the future to
       securely authorize the device.

   forget DEVICE
       Remove the information about the device with the unique id DEVICE from
       the database. This includes the key, if one was previously generated.

   info DEVICE
       Display information about the device with the unique id DEVICE.

   list
       List and print information about all connected and stored devices.

   monitor
       Listen for and show changes in connected devices.
