5 bool "Android Binder IPC Driver"
9 Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
10 and remote method invocation.
12 This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
13 Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
14 between said processes.

21 Binderfs is a pseudo-filesystem for the Android Binder IPC driver
22 which can be mounted per-ipc namespace allowing to run multiple
24 Each binderfs mount initially only contains a binder-control device.

31 default "binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"
33 Default value for the binder.devices parameter.
35 The binder.devices parameter is a comma-separated list of strings
36 that specifies the names of the binder device nodes that will be
37 created. Each binder device has its own context manager, and is
38 therefore logically separated from the other devices.
