Description-en: Android Debug Bridge CLI tool
Android Debug Bridge (adb) is a versatile tool lets you manage the
state of an emulator instance or Android-powered device. It is a
client-server program that includes three components:
.
A client, which runs on your development machine. You can invoke a
client from a shell by issuing an adb command. Other Android tools such
as the ADT plugin and DDMS also create adb clients.
.
A server, which runs as a background process on your development
machine. The server manages communication between the client and the
adb daemon running on an emulator or device.
.
A daemon, which runs as a background process on each emulator or device
instance.
