settings: Get a value of a specific setting.
$ settings get ${global} ${airplane_mode_on}
try on your machine

This command is requesting the value of the global setting "airplane_mode_on".

In Android devices, settings are stored in a centralized location and can be accessed through the command-line interface using the "settings" tool. The "get" command is used to retrieve the value of a specific setting.

Here, the setting being accessed is "airplane_mode_on". The use of "${global}" suggests that the setting is a global one, which means it applies to the entire device rather than being user-specific.

When this command is executed, it will return the current value of the "airplane_mode_on" setting. The value will be either true or false, indicating whether airplane mode is currently enabled or disabled on the device.
