3 This directory contains low-level support for Chrome running on Chrome OS. Many
4 subdirectories contain Chrome-style C++ wrappers around operating system
7 For example, //chromeos/dbus contains wrappers around the D-Bus interfaces to
8 system daemons like the network configuration manager (shill). Most other
9 directories contain low-level utility code. For example, //chromeos/disks has
10 utilities for mounting and unmounting disk volumes.
12 There are two exceptions:
14 - //chromeos/services contains mojo services that were not considered
15 sufficiently general to live in top-level //services. For example
16 //chromeos/services/secure_channel bootstraps a secure communications channel
17 to an Android phone over Bluetooth, enabling multi-device features like
20 - //chromeos/components contains C++ components that were not considered
21 sufficiently general to live in top-level //components. For example,
22 //chromeos/components/account_manager manages the user's GAIA accounts, but
23 is used as the backend for UI that only exists on Chrome OS devices.
25 Note, //chromeos does not contain any user-facing UI code, and hence it has
26 "-ui" in its DEPS. The contents of //chromeos should also not depend on
27 //chrome or //content.
