# 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`
