1## artd
2
3artd is a component of ART Service. It is a shim service to do tasks that
4require elevated permissions that are not available to system_server, such as
5manipulation of the file system and invoking dex2oat. It publishes a binder
6interface that is internal to ART service's Java code. When it invokes other
7binaries, it passes input and output files as FDs and drops capability before
8exec.
