                                 returns an error if more than one USB device is present.
 -e                            - directs command to the only running emulator.
                                 returns an error if more than one emulator is running.
 -s <specific device>          - directs command to the device or emulator with the given
                                 serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL

                                 be an absolute path.
 -H                            - Name of adb server host (default: localhost)

                                    list is optional.  Applications explicitly given on the
                                    command line will be included even if -nosystem would
                                    ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)

adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]
  <localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:
  - If <directory> is not specified, /system, /vendor (if present), and /data partitions will be updated.

    is updated.
environmental variables:
