snap interfaces output is overwhelming

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

I want to see which interfaces a specific app is using.

snap interfaces <snap>

This should show me which interfaces one snap (the one specified) is using. It doesn't. It shows all the interfaces used by that snap, and all other apps using those interfaces, which when you have a lot of snaps is maddeningly hard to read.

(the following output is on a relatively clean system where I have only 20 snaps installed. My previous install had over 100 and this was unreadable.

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

This is scheduled to be fixed using the new "snap connections" command. It will be similar to the "snap interface" (singular) command but will focus on connections rather than on interfaces (plugs and slots).

`snap connections` has landed in 2.38.
