NAME¶

binder-ping - check if a specific binder service is alive

SYNOPSIS¶

binder-ping [OPTION...] FQNAME

DESCRIPTION¶

binder-ping sends a ping transaction to the fully‑qualified binder service name FQNAME and reports whether the service is alive (responding). The argument FQNAME is mandatory; running the command without it shows the help message and exits.

This is a simple availability check and does not require any specific transaction data.

OPTIONS¶

-d, --device=DEVICE

Binder device (default: /dev/hwbinder).

-v, --verbose

Enable verbose output.

-q, --quiet

Suppress non‑error messages.

-h, --help

Show help options.

EXAMPLE¶

Ping a single service:

binder-ping android.hardware.sensors@1.0::ISensors/default

Use a different binder device:

binder-ping -d /dev/binder some.service::Iface/default
