An android device policy editor!

Usage: ./honeycomb [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -p, --policy-name <POLICY_NAME>    Name of policy you want to enable/disable
      --profile-path <PROFILE_PATH>  Input file. For the primary user on android devices, this is typically /data/system/users/0.xml [default: /data/system/users/0.xml]
  -o, --out <OUT>                    Output file name
      --list-policies                List available policies and exit
      --overwrite                    Pass this argument to overwrite the original file
  -h, --help                         Print help
  -V, --version                      Print version

Warning: Honeycomb is still in development. It may fail to correctly modify the device policy files. Always take backups if you're using the --overwrite argument
