ideviceinfo(1)

💖 ideviceinfo — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is ideviceinfo(1) from the General Commands Manual and it's genuinely one of the most useful little tools in the libimobiledevice crew. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ideviceinfo — show information about the first connected device. that's it, that's the vibe. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ideviceinfo [OPTIONS]

literally just the command and whatever options you're feeling today. no positional args, no drama. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Show information about the first connected device.

okay so real talk — it looks at the first device it finds plugged in (or on the network, iykyk) and dumps info about it. just the first one though. if you've got a whole collection of iPhones on your desk like some kind of tech goblin, this is not the tool that picks and chooses — it grabs the first one and goes. 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -s, --simple — use a simple connection to avoid auto-pairing with the device. lowkey a "don't talk to me, don't pair with me" mode. 🙈
• -u, --udid UDID — target specific device by UDID. you want that one, not just the first one? give it the UDID, bestie. 🎯
• -n, --network — connect to network device. no cable, no problem. ✨
• -d, --debug — enable communication debugging. for when you need to see everything going on. it's giving detective mode. 🔍
• -q, --domain NAME — set domain of query to NAME. Default: None.
• -k, --key NAME — only query key specified by NAME. Default: All keys. so you can be picky about it. 💅
• -x, --xml — output information as xml plist instead of key/value pairs. for when you want it formatted and fancy. 🌈
• -h, --help — prints usage information. your friendly little reminder. 🥰
• -v, --version — prints version information. know what you're running, always. ⭐

ngl, -q defaults to None and -k defaults to All keys — so if you don't ask for anything specific, you get everything. which is iconic but also a lot. 😭
