-<p>You can issue adb commands from a command line on your development machine or from a script. The usage is: </p>

-<h2>Querying for Emulator/Device Instances</h2>
-
-<p>Before issuing adb commands, it is helpful to know what emulator/device instances are connected to the adb server. You can generate a list of attached emulators/devices using the <code>devices</code> command: </p>
-
-	<pre>adb devices</pre>
-
-<p>In response, adb prints this status information for each instance:</p>
-
-<ul>
-	<li>Serial number &mdash; A string created by adb to uniquely identify an emulator/device instance by its 
-        console port number. The format of the serial number is <code>&lt;type&gt;-&lt;consolePort&gt;</code>. 
-        Here's an example serial number: <code>emulator-5554</code></li>
-	<li>State &mdash; The connection state of the instance may be one of the following:
-		<ul>
-		<li><code>offline</code> &mdash; the instance is not connected to adb or is not responding.</li>
-		<li><code>device</code> &mdash; the instance is now connected to the adb server. Note that this state does not 
-                    imply that the Android system is fully booted and operational, since the instance connects to adb 
-                    while the system is still booting. However, after boot-up, this is the normal operational state of 
-                    an emulator/device instance.</li>
-                <li><code>no device</code> &mdash; there is no emulator/device connected.
-		</ul>
-	</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>The output for each instance is formatted like this: </p>
-
-	<pre>[serialNumber] [state]</pre>
-
-<p>Here's an example showing the <code>devices</code> command and its output:</p>

-<h2>Directing Commands to a Specific Emulator/Device Instance</h2>
-
-<p>If multiple emulator/device instances are running, you need to specify a target instance when issuing adb commands. To so so, use the <code>-s</code> option in the commands. The usage for the <code>-s</code> option is:</p>
-
-    <pre>adb -s &lt;serialNumber&gt; &lt;command&gt; </pre>
-	
-<p>As shown, you specify the target instance for a command using its adb-assigned serial number. You can use the <code>devices</code> command to obtain the serial numbers of running emulator/device instances. </p>
-
-<p>Here is an example: </p>
-
-	<pre>adb -s emulator-5556 install helloWorld.apk</pre>
-
-<p>Note that, if you issue a command without specifying a target emulator/device instance using <code>-s</code>, adb generates an error. 
-
-<a name="move"></a>
-
-<h2>Installing an Application</h2>
-<p>You can use adb to copy an application from your development computer and install it on an emulator/device instance. To do so, use the <code>install</code> command. With the command, you must specify the path to the .apk file that you want to install:</p>
-
-<pre>adb install &lt;path_to_apk&gt;</pre>
-
-<p>For more information about how to create an .apk file that you can install on an emulator/device
-instance, see <a href="{@docRoot}tools/building/index.html">Building and Running</a></p>
-
-<p>Note that, if you are using the Eclipse IDE and have the ADT plugin installed, you do not need to use adb (or aapt) directly to install your application on the emulator/device. Instead, the ADT plugin handles the packaging and installation of the application for you. </p>
-
+<p>As shown, the emulator instance connected to adb on port 5555 is the same as the instance
+whose console listens on port 5554. </p>
 
-<a name="forwardports"></a>
+<p>Once the server has set up connections to all emulator instances, you can use adb commands to
+access those instances. Because the server manages connections to emulator/device
+instances and handles commands from multiple adb clients, you can control any emulator/device
+instance from any client (or from a script).</p>
 
-<h2>Forwarding Ports</h2>
 
-    <p>You can use the <code>forward</code> command to set up arbitrary port forwarding &mdash; forwarding of requests on a specific host port to a different port on an emulator/device instance. Here's how you would set up forwarding of host port 6100 to emulator/device port 7100:</p>
-<pre>adb forward tcp:6100 tcp:7100</pre>
-    <p>You can also use adb to set up forwarding to named abstract UNIX domain sockets, as illustrated here:</p>
-<pre>adb forward tcp:6100 local:logd </pre>
 
-<a name="copyfiles"></a>
 
-<h2>Copying Files to or from an Emulator/Device Instance</h2>
+<h2 id="issuingcommands">Syntax</h2>
 
-<p>You can use the adb commands <code>pull</code> and <code>push</code> to copy files to and from an emulator/device instance's data file. Unlike the <code>install</code> command, which only copies an .apk file to a specific location, the <code>pull</code> and <code>push</code> commands let you copy arbitrary directories and files to any location in an emulator/device instance. </p>
+<p>You can issue adb commands from a command line on your development machine or from a script.
+The usage is: </p>
 
-<p>To copy a file or directory (recursively) <em>from</em> the emulator or device, use</p>
-<pre>adb pull &lt;remote&gt; &lt;local&gt;</pre> 
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">
+adb [-d|-e|-s &lt;serialNumber&gt;] &lt;command&gt;
+</pre>
 
-<p>To copy a file or directory (recursively) <em>to</em> the emulator or device, use</p>
-    <pre>adb push &lt;local&gt; &lt;remote&gt;</pre> 
+<p>If there's only one emulator running or only one device connected, the adb command is
+sent to that device by default. If multiple emulators are running and/or multiple devices are
+attached, you need to use the <code>-d</code>, <code>-e</code>, or <code>-s</code>
+option to specify the target device to which the command should be directed. </p>
 
-<p>In the commands, <code>&lt;local&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;remote&gt;</code> refer to the paths to the target files/directory on your development machine (local) and on the emulator/device instance (remote).</p>

-<h2>Enabling logcat Logging</h2>
+<h2 id="logcat">Enabling logcat logging</h2>
 
 <p>The Android logging system provides a mechanism for collecting and viewing system debug output. Logs from various applications and portions of the system are collected in a series of circular buffers, which then can be viewed and filtered by the <code>logcat</code> command.</p>
 
 <p>You can use the <code>logcat</code> command to view and follow the contents of the system's log buffers. The general usage is:</p>
 
-<pre>[adb] logcat [&lt;option&gt;] ... [&lt;filter-spec&gt;] ...</pre>
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">[adb] logcat [option] ... [filter-spec] ...</pre>
 
 <p>You can use the <code>logcat</code> command from your development computer  or from a remote adb shell in an emulator/device instance. To view log output in your development computer, you use</p>
 
-<pre>$ adb logcat</pre>
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">adb logcat</pre>
 
 <p>and from a remote adb shell you use</p>
 
-<pre># logcat</pre>
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">logcat</pre>
 
 <p>See <a href="{@docRoot}tools/debugging/debugging-log.html">Reading and Writing Logs</a> for complete information about logcat commend options and filter specifications.</p>

 <p>In some cases, you might need to terminate the adb server process and then restart it. For example, if adb does not respond to a command, you can terminate the server and restart it and that may resolve the problem. </p>
 
-<p>To stop the adb server, use the <code>kill-server</code>. You can then restart the server by issuing any adb command. </p>
