logcat: Display logs for a specific PID.
$ logcat --pid=${pid}
try on your machine

The command "logcat --pid=${pid}" is used to view the system logs specifically for a particular process identified by its process ID (pid). Here's what each part of the command means: - "logcat" is a command-line tool typically found in Android devices and used to retrieve system logs.

  • "--pid" is an option/flag that is used to filter the logcat output for a specific process ID.
  • "${pid}" is a placeholder, and you need to replace it with the actual process ID of the target process you want to get the logs for. For example, if you want to view the logs for a process with a PID of 1234, you would use: ``` logcat --pid=1234
