                          Android has this binder thing. If I understand it well, from my linux-centered viewpoint, it is a char device in /dev, and apps are using it for some interprocess communication.

Linux kernel has already a lot of things for that. Most imporantly, we can have shared memory, locks and unix sockets.

What is binder doing and how?
