πŸ“¦ version 1.1.54, in ubuntu stonking

πŸ’– BINDER-LIST β€” the manual page, but make it cute πŸ’–

okay so. bestie. you know how your phone is out here running a whole bunch of services at once and you're just like. how do I even see them. that's this. binder-list is a User Commands page from the libgbinder lineup and it's here to spill the tea on every service your binder device has registered. no cap. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

binder-list β€” list binder services πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

binder-list [OPTION...] [SERVICE]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so binder-list goes and queries the service manager on a binder device, and then it prints out the names of all the registered services. it's giving "let me introduce you to everyone at the party." ✨

and if you hand it a SERVICE? then it's not doing the whole group photo β€” it only shows you the info for that one service. focused. locked in. main character energy fr fr. πŸ‘‘

one thing you should know, and this is lowkey important: by default the query is performed synchronously. if you want it asynchronous instead, you hit it with --async. that's the whole switch. 😌


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • -d, --device=DEVICE β€” which binder device you wanna poke at. the default is /dev/hwbinder. yes, that's the one you get if you don't say anything. πŸ™ˆ
  • -a, --async β€” do the service lookup asynchronously instead of waiting around for it.
  • -v, --verbose β€” turn on verbose output, i.e. give me everything, I want the lore. πŸ“–
  • -q, --quiet β€” suppress non-error messages. shhh. only the errors get to speak. 🀫
  • -h, --help β€” show help options. classic. always there for you. πŸŽ€

πŸ“ EXAMPLE πŸ“

first up: list all the services on the default hardware binder device. just. the whole roster. ✨

and next: check for a specific service on the framework binder, because sometimes you only care about one girlie in particular πŸ’œ

android.hardware.sensors@1.0::ISensors/default
