+Usage:
+snapctl [OPTIONS] is-connected [is-connected-OPTIONS] <plug|slot>
+
+	The is-connected command returns success if the given plug or slot of the
+	calling snap is connected, and failure otherwise.
+
+	$ snapctl is-connected plug
+	$ echo $?
+	1
+
+	Snaps can only query their own plugs and slots - snap name is implicit and
+	implied by the snapctl execution context.
+
+	The --pid and --aparmor-label options can be used to determine whether
+	a plug or slot is connected to the snap identified by the given
+	process ID or AppArmor label.  In this mode, additional failure exit
+	codes may be returned: 10 if the other snap is not connected but uses
+	classic confinement, or 11 if the other process is not snap confined.
+
+	The --pid and --apparmor-label options may only be used with slots of
+	interface type "pulseaudio", "audio-record", or "cups-control".
+
+
+	Help Options:
+	-h, --help                Show this help message
+
+	[is-connected command options]
+			--pid=            Process ID for a plausibly connected process
+			--apparmor-label= AppArmor label for a plausibly connected process
