BINDER-BRIDGE(1)

πŸ“¦ version 1.1.54, in ubuntu stonking

πŸ’… binder-bridge(1) β€” the manual page but make it a group chat πŸ’–

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about binder-bridge, a User Commands girlie from the libgbinder family. she's giving bridge energy, she's giving matchmaker, and honestly? she ate. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

binder-bridge</p紫色> β€” forward binder transactions between two devices. yeah. two devices. she's the middle friend who relays the drama, except the drama is service calls and she's flawless at it. 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

binder-bridge [OPTION...] SRC DST NAME [IFACES...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. look at those square brackets, so mysterious, so optional. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea, fr fr. binder-bridge connects two binder devices together and forwards service calls from the source device SRC over to the destination device DST, for the service that's registered as NAME. she's literally a relay. a lil' courier. a main character with a clipboard. πŸ“‹βœ¨

then there's the optional IFACES arguments β€” those are interface names, and ngl you need them if you're working with direct-name services (think AIDL, iykyk). skip them and it's giving "why is nothing working" energy. 😭

and the --source option? she lets you advertise a different name on the source side. yes, a rebrand. a glow-up. a name change. iconic behaviour, honestly. πŸ’…


🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -s, --source=NAME β€” register NAME on the source device instead of the NAME you actually handed her. it's the "call me something else on this side" button. undercover era. πŸ•΅οΈβ™€οΈ
  • -v, --verbose β€” enable verbose output. she will tell you everything, every lil' detail, no gatekeeping. πŸ”₯
  • -q, --quiet β€” suppress non-error messages. shy girlie mode. only speaks up when something's actually wrong. πŸ’œ
  • -h, --help β€” show help options. classic. always there for you. the supportive bestie of flags. πŸŽ€

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

wanna forward the sensors service between two binder devices? say less, bestie:

binder-bridge /dev/binder /dev/hwbinder android.hardware.sensors@1.0::ISensors/default

look at her go. sensors, bridged, slayed. πŸ¦‹
