# Quick-start

First of all, you must launch the Android emulator with the gdb qemu option (`-qemu -s`).
```console
emulator @Your_AVD -qemu -s
```

Then run **aeroot** by choosing the mode among:
* **pid**: give the root privileges to a process selected by its *PID*.
* **name**: give the root privileges to a process selected by its *name*.
* **daemon**: give the root privileges to the ADB daemon, so shells created with adb shell will automaticaly have root rigths.

## Usage

```console
aeroot [-h] [--verbose | --quiet] [--device DEVICE] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] {name,pid,daemon} ...
```

## Examples

### *pid* mode example

```console
aeroot pid 1337
```

> Gives the root privileges to the process with pid 1337

### *name* mode example

```console
aeroot name my_process
```

> Gives the root privileges to the process named "my_process"

### *daemon* mode example

```console
aeroot daemon
```

> Gives the root privileges to the ADB daemon

## Additional options

You can find additional options by checking the help of the tool: `aeroot -h`
