=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Androiddump> is a extcap tool that provide interfaces to capture from
Android device. There is only two requirements:
1. You must have Android SDK and add it PATH environment variable.
PATH should contain directory with tools like "adb" and "android".
Android SDK for various platform are available on:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
2. You must have permission to Android devices. Some Android devices requires
on-screen authentication.
Supported interfaces:
=over 4
=item 1. Logcat Main (binary or text)
=item 2. Logcat System (binary or text)
=item 3. Logcat Events (binary or text)
=item 4. Logcat Radio (binary or text)
=item 5. Logcat Crash (text; Lollipop)
=item 6. Bluetooth Hcidump (<Kitkat)
=item 7. Bluetooth Bluedroid External Parser (Kitkat)
=item 8. Bluetooth BtsnoopNet (Lollipop)
=item 9. WiFi tcpdump
=back
Please note that it will work also for FirefoxOS.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item --help
Print program arguments.
=item --version
Print program version.
=item --extcap-interfaces
List available interfaces.
=item --extcap-interface=E<lt>interfaceE<gt>
Use specified interfaces.
=item --extcap-dlts
List DLTs of specified interface.
=item --extcap-config
List configuration options of specified interface.
=item --capture
Start capturing from specified interface save saved it in place specified by --fifo.
=item --fifo=E<lt>path to file or pipeE<gt>
Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.
=item --adb-server-ip=E<lt>IP addressE<gt>
Use other then default (127.0.0.1) ADB daemon's IP address.
=item --adb-server-tcp-port=E<lt>TCP portE<gt>
Use other then default (5037) ADB daemon's TCP port.
=item --logcat-text=E<lt>TRUE or FALSEE<gt>
If TRUE then use text logcat rather then binary. This option has effect only on
Logcat interfaces. This have no effect from Lollipop where is no binary Logcat
available.
Defaults to FALSE.
=item --bt-server-tcp-port=E<lt>TCP portE<gt>
Use other then default Bluetooth server TCP port on Android side.
On Lollipop defaults is 8872, earlier 4330.
=item --bt-forward-socket=E<lt>TRUE or FALSEE<gt>
If TRUE then socket from Android side is forwarded to host side.
Defaults to FALSE.
=item --bt-local-ip=E<lt>IP addressE<gt>
Use other then default (127.0.0.1) IP address on host side for forwarded socket.
=item --bt-local-tcp-port=E<lt>TCP portE<gt>
Specify port to be used on host side for forwarded socket.

=head1 EXAMPLES
To see program arguments:
androiddump --help
To see program version:
androiddump --version
To see interfaces:
androiddump --extcap-interfaces
Example output:
interface {display=Android Logcat Main}{value=android-logcat-main-MSM7627A}
interface {display=Android Logcat System}{value=android-logcat-system-MSM7627A}
interface {display=Android Logcat Radio}{value=android-logcat-radio-MSM7627A}
interface {display=Android Logcat Events}{value=android-logcat-events-MSM7627A}
interface {display=Android Bluetooth Hcidump}{value=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A}
To see interface DLTs:
androiddump --extcap-interface=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A --extcap-dlts
Example output:
dlt {number=99}{name=BluetoothH4}{display=Bluetooth HCI UART transport layer plus pseudo-header}
To see interface configuration options:
androiddump --extcap-interface=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A --extcap-config
Example output:
arg {number=0}{call=--adb-server-ip}{display=ADB Server IP Address}{type=string}{default=127.0.0.1}
arg {number=1}{call=--adb-server-tcp-port}{display=ADB Server TCP Port}{type=integer}{range=0,65535}{default=5037}
To capture:
androiddump --extcap-interface=android-bluetooth-hcidump-MSM7627A --fifo=/tmp/bluetooth.pcapng --capture
NOTE: To stop capturing CTRL+C/kill/terminate application.
