HDC Common Commands

Summary:

HDC (Huawei Device Connect) commands provide a comprehensive set of tools for managing Huawei devices, performing application testing, and troubleshooting. These commands enable developers and device managers to perform essential tasks such as checking device connections, installing or uninstalling apps, viewing and clearing logs, transferring files, and retrieving system information like power status and device model. Additionally, HDC commands facilitate debugging by allowing the viewing of process details, controlling device power settings, and simulating button presses. You can see the most common hdc commands below.

49. Get help: hdc help

Applicable Scenarios:

• Device Management: Useful for managing connected Huawei devices, including checking connections, installing/uninstalling apps, or restarting devices.
• Application Testing: For developers testing Huawei apps, commands for starting, stopping, and clearing app data or logs can be essential.
• File Transfer: Commands for pushing and pulling files between a PC and the connected Huawei device.
• Debugging: Viewing logs or checking system status (e.g., power, system version) to troubleshoot device issues.
