💖 BINDER-PING(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to binder-ping from the User Commands girlies ✨ this one's short, sweet, and honestly iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

binder-ping — the lil' tool that checks if a specific binder service is alive 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

binder-ping [OPTION...] FQNAME

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, binder-ping sends a ping transaction to a fully-qualified binder service name — that's your FQNAME — and then it tells you whether that service is alive, aka actually responding. no cap. 💅

the FQNAME argument is mandatory, bestie. it is not optional, it is not a vibe, it is required. if you run the command with no argument at all, it just shows you the help message and exits. that's it. that's the whole thing. 🙈

lowkey the best part: this is a simple availability check, so it does not need any specific transaction data. no fancy payload, no setup, just ping and go. 🎀

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -d, --device=DEVICE — tells it which binder device to use. default is /dev/hwbinder ✨
  • -v, --verbose — turns on verbose output, so it yaps more at you 🗣️
  • -q, --quiet — suppresses non-error messages. shhh. 🤫
  • -h, --help — shows the help options. classic. 👑

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

pinging a single service, just like that:

binder-ping android.hardware.sensors@1.0::ISensors/default

or, if you wanna use a different binder device (main character energy, picking your own device):

binder-ping -d /dev/binder some.service::Iface/default
