adb     CLI Client for ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Server.

adb [GLOBAL_OPTIONS] command [COMMAND_OPTIONS]

Connects to the ADB Server via its smart socket interface. Allows sending requests, receives responses and manages lifecycle of the adb server.

features

    list features supported by both adb server and device.

$ANDROID_SERIAL     Serial number to connect to (see -s).

$ANDROID_LOG_TAGS     Tags to be used by logcat (see logcat –help).

$ADB_MDNS_AUTO_CONNECT     Comma-separated list of mdns services to allow auto-connect (default adb-tls-connect).

$ADB_MDNS_OPENSCREEN     The default mDNS-SD backend is Bonjour (mdnsResponder). For machines where Bonjour is not installed, adb can spawn its own, embedded, mDNS-SD back end, openscreen. If set to “1”, this env variable forces mDNS backend to openscreen.

$ADB_LIBUSB     ADB has its own USB backend implementation but can also employ libusb. use adb devices -l (usb: prefix is omitted for libusb) or adb host-features (look for libusb in the output list) to identify which is in use. To override the default for your OS, set ADB_LIBUSB to “1” to enable libusb, or “0” to enable the ADB backend implementation.
