Read APK permission by shell command

I want to read the requested permissions of an .apk file on the computer (android sdk is installed) via command line.

I.E.:

$ android read-permissions /path/to/someapp.apk

I know this is possible, I just cant find the proper command.

Answer

If I'm interpreting "on the computer" correctly to mean "I want to use the command line on my computer to read an .apk file's permissions" then you can do that with aapt on a local file like so:

C:\>aapt d permissions "MyApp.apk"
package: com.app.myapp
uses-permission: android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
uses-permission: android.permission.INTERNET

If you mean that the .apk is on the device, then I'm not aware of a way to do this aside from pulling it and running aapt as above. pm has a list permissions command but it just lists all available permissions on the device and does not accept a package as a parameter (as far as I know, anyway).
