When I run:
sudo launchctl bslist
... it shows all the running /System daemons, but I have some running from /Library/LaunchDaemons and it is not showing those.
How can I show them all?

2bslist lists "Mach bootstrap services " and so I think not all daemons - launchctl list shows more – mmmmmm Jun 12 '14 at 14:57

Yes, "sudo launchctl list" shows them all. Thanks! – dmgig Jun 12 '14 at 15:18

From launchctl's man page (apple seem to have misplaced the man pages so an external one is here https://www.unix.com/man-page/osx/1/launchctl/)
launchctl bslist lists "Mach bootstrap services "
To get all jobs loaded into launchctl use sudo launchctl list
Daemons are not necessarily the former and other things but daemons are in the list

Is it normal to get a return of well over a hundred lines when you enter "sudo launchctl list" ? – Natsfan Aug 13 '18 at 17:33

Unrecognized subcommand: bslisterror. I am using Mojave – Anthony Kong Jan 29 '20 at 23:33 -

man launchctl-bslist: This subcommand is not implemented and has been superseded by theprintsubcommand, which provides much richer information. – cambunctious Feb 04 '20 at 15:56 -
2The
printsubcommand will not provide an entire list of daemons. It needs an argument to provide more indepth info. Testing on macOS 11.5.1 – lolsky Aug 03 '21 at 13:59
