idevicediagnostics is a command-line tool within the libimobiledevice suite,
designed for performing diagnostics and retrieving information from connected iOS devices.
It allows users to query device properties, initiate diagnostic sessions (like battery analysis),
and interact with the device's diagnostic interface. This is particularly useful for developers,
system administrators, and repair technicians for troubleshooting and device analysis.
The tool leverages the communication protocols established by Apple,
facilitating direct interaction without relying on iTunes or other proprietary software.
It is essential to note that some features might require a device that is not locked or has the developer disk image mounted properly.
The command provides functionalities such as reading specific properties, such as serial numbers and activation status,
which are useful for device management and inventory. Furthermore, it allows to initiate diagnostic tests,
which are useful for troubleshooting and reporting issues.

Some features, like sleep or restart, might require root privileges or a developer disk image mounted on the device.

The command exits with 0 on success and a non-zero value on failure. Common reasons for failure include device not found, insufficient privileges, or device in an unsupported state.

idevicediagnostics is part of the libimobiledevice project, which aims to provide a cross-platform software library
to communicate with iOS devices natively. It has been developed over several years by a community of contributors
to reverse engineer the protocols used by Apple devices. The tool's usage has grown with the increasing need
for independent iOS device management and troubleshooting tools, especially in environments where relying on iTunes is not feasible or desired.
