scrcpy: Rotate the display screen. Each incremental value adds a 90 degree counterclockwise rotation.
$ scrcpy --rotation ${select}
try on your machine

The command "scrcpy --rotation ${select}" is used to rotate the screen orientation while using the scrcpy tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "scrcpy" is the name of the tool being used. It allows you to display and control an Android device connected via USB from your computer.

  • "--rotation" is an option or flag being passed to the "scrcpy" command. It specifies that you want to rotate the screen orientation of the connected Android device.

  • "${select}" is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the desired rotation value. The specific values that can be used depend on the capabilities of the device. Some possible rotation values include 0, 1, 2, and 3, representing landscape (default), portrait, reverse landscape, or reverse portrait orientations.

So, by providing the appropriate value for "${select}" in this command, you can rotate the screen orientation of the Android device displayed on your computer using scrcpy.
