This command is used to retrieve logs generated by the Android operating system and applications running on an Android device.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
adb
: Stands for Android Debug Bridge, a command-line tool used for various debugging and development tasks on Android devices.logcat
: It is a command used withadb
to access and view logs from the device.--pid=
: This flag is used to specify the PID (Process ID) for which logs are to be displayed.$(adb shell pidof -s ${package})
: This part of the command retrieves the PID of the specified package.
Let's break down the sub-command adb shell pidof -s ${package}
:
adb shell
: Runs a shell command on the connected Android device.pidof
: A shell command used to find the PID of a running process.-s
: This option is used to only output a single PID.${package}
: This is a variable that should be replaced with the name of the package (e.g., com.example.app) for which you want to retrieve the PID.
So, by running the adb logcat --pid=$(adb shell pidof -s ${package})
command, you will get the logs specifically for the process with the given package name.
