LibADB only supports local services which can be requested through AbsAdbConnectionManager#openStream(String) or
AdbConnection#open(String).
-
shell:command arg1 arg2 ...Run
command arg1 arg2 ...in a shell on the device, and return its output and error streams. Note that arguments must be separated by spaces. If an argument contains a space, it must be quoted with double-quotes. Arguments cannot contain double quotes or things will go very wrong. -
shell:Start an interactive shell session on the device. Redirect stdin/stdout/stderr as appropriate.
-
dev:<path>Opens a device file and connects the client directly to it for read/write purposes. Useful for debugging, but may require special privileges and thus may not run on all devices.
<path>is a full path from the root of the filesystem. -
tcp:<port>Tries to connect to tcp port
<port>on localhost. -
tcp:<port>:<server-name>Tries to connect to tcp port
<port>on machine<server-name>from the device. This can be useful to debug some networking/proxy issues that can only be revealed on the device itself. -
local:<path>Tries to connect to a Unix domain socket
<path>on the device. -
localreserved:<path>/localabstract:<path>/localfilesystem:<path>Variants of
local:<path>that are used to access other Android socket namespaces. -
sync:This starts the file synchronization service, used to implement "adb push" and "adb pull". Since this service is pretty complex, it will be detailed in a companion document named SYNC.TXT
-
reverse:<forward-command>This implements the 'adb reverse' feature, i.e. the ability to reverse socket connections from a device to the host.
<forward-command>is one of the forwarding commands that are described above, as in:list-forward forward:<local>;<remote> forward:norebind:<local>;<remote> killforward-all killforward:<local>Note that in this case, corresponds to the socket on the device and corresponds to the socket on the host.
The output of reverse:list-forward is the same as host:list-forward except that will be just 'host'.
