Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] docs: binderfs: add section about feature files
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2021 03:18:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210715031805.1725878-2-cmllamas@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210715031805.1725878-1-cmllamas@google.com>

Document how binder feature files can be used to determine whether a
feature is supported by the binder driver. "oneway_spam_detection" is
used as an example as it is the first available feature file.

+Assuming an instance of binderfs has been mounted at ``/dev/binderfs``, the
+features supported by the binder driver can be located under
+``/dev/binderfs/features/``. The presence of individual files can be tested
+to determine whether a particular feature is supported by the driver.
