There is not concept of "all devices have shown" up. Today's devices can take any time they want before they pop up, are probed and show up in userspace. In particular with technologies like USB there's no way to know in advance that there will be a device popping up, and how much time it will take. This also means there's no reasonable way to wait for all devices to have shown up, simply since you wouldn't know how long to wait, and whether to wait at all. Or in other words: if you software requires a concept it is not compatible with how systems work today. Today, software really should use libudev or suchlike and subscribe to events as hardware pops up, and then make use of those events and react dynamically to that and make the best of it. Sorry if that's disappointing, but it really is how it is.
