adb hell command (not a typo)

Question

I have a question about ADB, does anyone know what is the difference between:
adb shell & adb hell commands?

I'm wondering if except the "hellish" terminal color(only on Linux, in Windows you just get some prefixes) there are any other differences?
Seriously check yourself.

Answer 1

Reading the source:

if(!strcmp(argv[0], "shell") || !strcmp(argv[0], "hell")) {
    int r;
    int fd;

    char h = (argv[0][0] == 'h');

    if (h) {
        printf("\x1b[41;33m");
        fflush(stdout);
    }

    if(argc < 2) {
        D("starting interactive shell\n");
        r = interactive_shell();
        if (h) {
            printf("\x1b[0m");
            fflush(stdout);
        }

...

            if (h) {
                printf("\x1b[0m");
                fflush(stdout);
            }

This code confirms that if the shell or hell command starts with an h, extra control sequences for changing terminal colors are output but nothing else.

Answer 2

As far as i know there is no other difference between the two.
