How API calls are made through the termux-api helper binary

The

termux-api

client binary in the

termux-api

package generates two linux anonymous namespace sockets, and passes their address to the

TermuxApiReceiver broadcast receiver

as in:

/system/bin/am broadcast ${BROADCAST_RECEIVER} --es socket_input ${INPUT_SOCKET} --es socket_output ${OUTPUT_SOCKET}

The two sockets are used to forward stdin from

termux-api

to the relevant API class and output from the API class to the stdout of

termux-api

.

Client scripts

Client scripts which processes command line arguments before calling the

termux-api

helper binary are available in the

termux-api package

.

Ideas

Wifi network search and connect.

Add extra permissions to the app to (un)install apps, stop processes etc.
