Description : bolt is a system daemon to manage thunderbolt 3 devices via a
: D-BUS API. Thunderbolt 3 features different security modes that
: require devices to be authorized before they can be used. The
: D-Bus API can be used to list devices, enroll them (authorize and
: store them in the local database) and forget them again (remove
: previously enrolled devices). It also emits signals if new devices
: are connected (or removed). During enrollment devices can be set
: to be automatically authorized as soon as they are connected. A
: command line tool, called boltctl, can be used to control the
: daemon and perform all the above mentioned tasks.
