  <section name="Description">
    <b>fb-adb</b> wraps <b>adb</b> to provide enhanced shell, command
    execution, file transfer, system diagnostic, and
    other functionality.
    <vspace/>
    <b>fb-adb shell</b> (which can also be spelled <b>fb-adb sh</b>
    and <b>fb-adb shellx</b>) runs <i>command</i> and its arguments
    through the device shell (which is usually <b>mksh</b>(1)) with
    all arguments shell-quoted.  (<i>command</i> itself is unquoted,
    so it may contain shell constructs, e.g., globs.)  <b>fb-adb
    shell</b> without arguments starts an interactive shell, making it
    slightly more efficient, especially when connecting to
    CPU-constrained devices.
    <vspace/>
    <b>fb-adb rcmd</b> is similar, except that it runs <i>command</i>
    directly without invoking the shell and does not have a
    zero-argument form that starts an interactive shell.
    <vspace/>
    <b>fb-adb rdex</b> does everything necessary to execute a jar file
    already on device as its own program.
    <vspace/>
    <b>fb-adb help</b> displays this documentation.
    <vspace/>
    See below for other useful commands, such as <b>fb-adb finfo</b>
    for describing the filesystem in JSON, <b>fb-adb logcat-json</b>
    for machine-readable logcat, <b>fb-adb ps-json</b>, and <b>fb-adb
    bash-completion</b>.
    <vspace/>
    <b>adb</b> must be on PATH.

      Connect over the given transport.  The default is <b>shell</b>.
      <vspace/>
      <b>shell</b> means to run the <b>fb-adb</b> protocol over an
      "adb shell" connection.  This method is the most reliable.
      <vspace/>
      <b>unix</b> means to run the <b>fb-adb</b> protocol over an
      AF_UNIX socket connection forwarded over ADB.  This method may
      transfer data faster than the <b>shell</b> transport, but it is
      experimental may take slightly longer to set up.
      <vspace/>
      <b>tcp:HOST,PORT</b> means to use a TCP socket to connect from
      the device to the host.  fb-adb automatically manages making the
      connection, but it cannot automatically figure out on what
      network address the device can reach the host.  You must tell it
      what address to bind to: HOST and PORT.  HOST and PORT are any
      strings accepted as the node and service arguments,
      respectively, to getaddr(3), and can be names or numbers.
      <vspace/>
      Examples: <tt>tcp:10.2.5.1,12345</tt> and
      <tt>tcp:myhost.example,gopher</tt>
      <vspace/>
      This transport is typically much faster than the others: it
      bypasses <b>adb</b> completely.
      <vspace/>
      Note that traffic to devices is unencrypted.
      <?ifdef HAVE_LOCAL_STUB?>
      <vspace/>
      The <b>local</b> transport is a special mode that makes
      <b>fb-adb</b> connect to the device on which it's running
      instead of any connected Android device. This mode is primarily
      useful for debugging <b>fb-adb</b> itself.

    <option long="avoid-daemon">
      <b>fb-adb</b> normally automatically starts a daemon on device
