Creating adb scripts

Programming Tools Guide
Chapter 8, adb: absolute debugger

By redirecting adb's standard input file at invocation, adb can be directed to read commands from a text file instead of the keyboard. To redirect the standard input, use the standard redirection symbol < and supply a filename. For example:

   adb sample <script

The file supplied must contain valid adb commands. Such files are called script files, and can be used with any invocation of the debugger.

Scripts are typically used to display the contents of core files after a program error. For example, this file containing the following commands will display most relevant information about a program error:

   120$w
   4095$s
   $v
   =3n
   $m
   =3n"C Stack Backtrace"
   $C
   =3n"C External Variables"
   $e
   =3n"Registers"
   $r
   0$s
   =3n"Data Segment"
