A Transition From adb
and kadb
to MDB
The transition from using the legacy adb
(1) utility to
using
mdb
(1) is relatively
simple: MDB provides evolutionary compatibility for the
adb
syntax, built-in commands, and command-line
options. MDB attempts to provide compatibility for all existing
adb
features, but it is not bug-for-bug compatible with
adb
. This appendix briefly discusses several features
of adb
that are not precisely emulated by MDB in order
to guide users to the new functionality.
