The termux-api client helper binary
The client helper binary (termux-api.c) generates two linux anonymous namespace sockets, and passes their address as in:
/system/bin/am broadcast ${SERVICE_CLASS} --es socket_input ${INPUT_SOCKET} --es socket_output ${OUTPUT_SOCKET}
where the sockets are used to transfer:
- input through stdin to the helper binary are forwarded to java code
- java code may output feedback which are forwarded to the stdout of the helper binary
Client scripts
Client scripts which processes command line arguments before calling the termux-api helper binary are available in the termux-api package.
