-# Service Manager User Guide
-
-## What is the Service Manager?
-
-The Service Manager is a tool that brokers connections and capabilities between
-and manages instances of components, referred to henceforth as “services”.
-
-The Service Manager performs the following functions:
-
-* Brokering connections between services, including communicating policies such
- as capabilities (which include access to interfaces), user identity, etc.
-* Launching and managing the lifecycle services and processes (though services
- may also create their own processes and tell the Service Manager about them).
-* Tracks running services, and provides an API that allows services to
- understand what’s running.
-
-The Service Manager presents a series of Mojo interfaces to services, though in
-practice interacting with the Service is made simpler with a client library.
-Currently, there is only a client library written in C++, since that meets the
-needs of most of the use cases in Chrome.
-
-## Details
-
-### Mojo Recap
-
-The Mojo system provides two key components of interest here - a lightweight
-message pipe concept allowing two endpoints to communicate, and a bindings layer
-that allows interfaces to be described to bind to those endpoints, with
-ergonomic bindings for languages used in Chrome.
-
-Mojo message pipes are designed to be lightweight and may be read from/written
-to and passed around from one process to the next. In most situations however
-the developer won’t interact with the pipes directly, rather with a generated
-types encapsulating a bound interface.
-
-To use the bindings, a developer defines their interface in the Mojo IDL format,
-**mojom**. With some build magic, the generated headers can then be included and
-used from C++, JS and Java.
-
-It is important to note here that Mojo Interfaces have fully qualified
-identifiers in string form, generated from the module path and interface name:
-“**`module.path.InterfaceName`**”. This is how interfaces are referenced in
-Service Manifests, and how they will be referenced throughout this document.
-
-This would be a good place for me to refer to this in-depth Mojo User Guide,
-which spells all of this out in great detail.
-
-### Services
-
-A Service is any bit of code the Service Manager knows about. This could be a
-unique process, or just a bit of code run in some existing process.
-
-The Service Manager disambiguates services by their **Identity**. Every service
-has its own unique Identity. From the Service Manager’s perspective, a service’s
-Identity is represented by the tuple of the its Name, UserId and Instance Name.
-The Name is a formatted string that superficially represents a scheme:host pair,
-but actually isn’t a URL. More on the structure of these names later. The UserId
-is a string GUID, representing the user the service is run as. The Instance Name
-is a string, typically (but not necessarily) derived from the Name, which can be
-used to allow multiple instances of a service to exist for the same Name,UserId
-pair. In Chrome an example of this would be multiple instances of the renderer
-or the same profile.
-
-A Service implements the Mojo interface shell.mojom.Service, which is the
-primary means the Service Manager has of communicating with its service. Service
-has two methods: OnStart(), called once at when the Service Manager first learns
-about the service, and OnConnect(), which the Service Manager calls every time
-some other service tries to connect to this one.
-
-Services have a link back to the Service Manager too, primarily in the form of
-the shell.mojom.Connector interface. The Connector allows services to open
-connections to other services.
-
-A unique connection from the Service Manager to a service is called an
-“instance,” each with its own unique identifier, called an instance id. Every
-instance has a unique Identity. It is possible to locate an existing instance
-purely using its Identity.
-
-Services define their own lifetimes. Services in processes started by other
-services (rather than the Service Manager) may even outlive the connection with
-the Service Manager. For processes launched by the Service Manager, when a
-service wishes to terminate it closes the Service pipe with the Service Manager
-and the Service Manager destroys its corresponding instance and asks the process
-to exit.
-
-#### A simple Service example
-
-Consider this simple application that implements the Service interface:
-
-**app.cc:**
-
- #include “"mojo/public/c/system/main.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/application_runner.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/connector.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/connection.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/identity.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/service.h”"
-
- class Service : public shell::Service {
- public:
- Service() {}
- ~Service() override {}
-
- // Overridden from shell::Service:
- void OnStart(const shell::Identity& identity) override {
- }
- bool OnConnect(shell::Connection* connection) override {
- return true;
- }
- };
-
- MojoResult ServiceMain(MojoHandle service_request_handle) {
- return shell::ServiceRunner(new Service).Run(service_request_handle);
- }
-
- app_manifest.json:
-
- {
- "“manifest_version"”: 1,
- "“name"”: "“mojo:app”",
- "“display_name"”: “"Example App”",
- "“capabilities"”: {}
- }
-
-**BUILD.gn:**
-
- import(“"//mojo/public/mojo_application.gni”")
-
- service(“"app"”) {
- sources = [ "“app.cc"” ]
- deps = [ "“//base"”, "“//mojo/shell/public/cpp”" ]
- data_deps = [ “":manifest"” ]
- }
-
- service_manifest(“"manifest"”) {
- name = "“app"”
- source = “"app_manifest.json”"
- }
-
-What does all this do? Building the app target produces two files in the output
-directory: app/app.library and app/manifest.json. app.library is a DSO loaded by
-the Service Manager in its own process when another service connects to the
-“mojo:app” name. This is not the only way (nor even the most likely one) you can
-implement a Service, but it’s the simplest and easiest to reason about.
-
-This service doesn’t do much. Its implementation of OnStart() is empty, and its
-implementation of OnConnect just returns true to allow the inbound connection to
-complete. Let’s study the parameters to these methods though, since they’ll be
-important as we begin to do more in our service.
-
-##### OnStart Parameters
-
-###### const shell::Identity& identity
-This is the identity this service is known to the Service Manager as. It
-includes the service’s Name, User ID and Instance Name.
-
-##### OnConnect Parameters
-
-###### shell::Connection* connection
-This is a pointer to an object that encapsulates the connection with a remote
-service. The service uses this object to learn about the service at the remote
-end, to bind interfaces from it, and to expose interfaces to it. The
-“Connection” concept is implemented under the hood by a pair of
-shell.mojom.InterfaceProviders - this is the physical link between the service
-that give the Connection its utility. The Connection object is owned by the
-caller of OnConnect, and will outlive the underlying pipes.
-
-The service can decide to block the connection outright by returning false from
-this method. In that scenario the underlying pipes will be closed and the remote
-end will see an error and have the chance to recover.
-
-Before we add any functionality to our service, such as exposing an interface,
-we should look at how we connect to another service and bind an interface from
-it. This will lay the groundwork to understanding how to export an interface.
-
-### Connecting
-
-Once we have a Connector, we can connect to other services and bind interfaces
-from them. In the trivial app above we can do this directly in OnStart:
-
- void OnStart(const shell::Identity& identity) override {
- scoped_ptr<shell::Connection> connection =
- connector()->Connect(“"mojo:service"”);
- mojom::SomeInterfacePtr some_interface;
- connection->GetInterface(&some_interface);
- some_interface->Foo();
- }
-
-This assumes an interface called “mojo.SomeInterface” with a method “Foo()”
-exported by another Mojo client identified by the name “mojo:service”.
-
-What is happening here? Let’s look line-by-line
-
-
- scoped_ptr<shell::Connection> connection =
- connector->Connect("“mojo:service”");
-
-This asks the Service Manager to open a connection to the service named
-“mojo:service”. The Connect() method returns a Connection object similar to the
-one received by OnConnect() - in fact this Connection object binds the other
-ends of the pipes of the Connection object received by OnConnect in the remote
-service. This time, the caller of Connect() takes ownership of the Connection,
-and when it is destroyed the connection (and the underlying pipes) is closed. A
-note on this later.
-
- mojom::SomeInterfacePtr some_interface;
-
-This is a shorthand from the mojom bindings generator, producing an
-instantiation of a mojo::InterfacePtr<mojom::SomeInterface>. At this point the
-InterfacePtr is unbound (has no pipe handle), and calling is_bound() on it will
-return false. Before we can call any methods, we need to bind it to a Mojo
-message pipe. This is accomplished on the following line:
-
- connection->GetInterface(&some_interface);
-
-Calling this method allocates a Mojo message pipe, binds the client handle to
-the provided InterfacePtr, and sends the server handle to the remote service,
-where it will eventually (asynchronously) be bound to an object implementing the
-requested interface. Now that our InterfacePtr has been bound, we can start
-calling methods on it:
-
- some_interface->Foo();
-
-Now an important note about lifetimes. At this point the Connection returned by
-Connect() goes out of scope, and is destroyed. This closes the underlying
-InterfaceProvider pipes with the remote client. But Mojo methods are
-asynchronous. Does this mean that the call to Foo() above is lost? No. Before
-closing, queued writes to the pipe are flushed.
-
-### Implementing an Interface
-
-Let’s look at how to implement an interface now from a client and expose it to
-inbound connections from other clients. To do this we’ll need to implement
-OnConnect() in our Service implementation, and implement a couple of other
-interfaces. For the sake of this example, we’ll imagine now we’re writing the
-“mojo:service” client, implementing the interface defined in this mojom:
-
-**some_interface.mojom:**
-
- module mojom;
-
- interface SomeInterface {
- Foo();
- };
-
-To build this mojom we need to invoke the mojom gn template from
-`//mojo/public/tools/bindings/mojom.gni`. Once we do that and look at the
-output, we can see that the C++ class mojom::SomeInterface is generated and can
-be #included from the same path as the .mojom file at some_interface.mojom.h.
-In our implementation of the mojo:service client, we’ll need to derive from this
-class to implement the interface. But that’s not enough. We’ll also have to find
-a way to bind inbound requests to bind this interface to the object that
-implements it. Let’s look at a snippet of a class that does all of this:
-
-**service.cc:**
-
- class Service : public shell::Service,
- public shell::InterfaceFactory<mojom::SomeInterface>,
- public mojom::SomeInterface {
- public:
- ..
-
- // Overridden from shell::Service:
- bool OnConnect(shell::Connection* connection) override {
- connection->AddInterface<mojom::SomeInterface>(this);
- return true;
- }
-
- // Overridden from shell::InterfaceFactory<mojom::SomeInterface>:
- void Create(shell::Connection* connection,
- mojom::SomeInterfaceRequest request) override {
- bindings_.AddBinding(this, std::move(request));
- }
-
- // Overridden from mojom::SomeInterface:
- void Foo() override { /* .. */ }
-
- mojo::BindingSet<mojom::SomeInterface> bindings_;
- };
-
-Let’s study what’s going on, starting with the obvious - we derive from
-`mojom::SomeInterface` and implement `Foo()`. How do we bind this implementation
-to a pipe handle from a connected service? First we have to advertise the
-interface to the client through the inbound connection. This is accomplished in
-OnConnect():
-
- connection->AddInterface<mojom::SomeInterface>(this);
-
-This adds the `mojom.SomeInterface` interface name to the inbound Connection
-object’s InterfaceRegistry, and tells the InterfaceRegistry to consult this
-object when it needs to construct an implementation to bind. Why this object?
-Well in addition to Service and SomeInterface, we also implement an
-instantiation of the generic interface InterfaceFactory. InterfaceFactory is the
-missing piece - it binds a request for SomeInterface (in the form of a message
-pipe server handle) to the object that implements the interface (this). This is
-why we implement Create():
-
- bindings_.AddBinding(this, std::move(request));
-
-In this case, this single instance binds requests for this interface from all
-connected clients, so we use a mojo::BindingSet to hold them all. Alternatively,
-we could construct an object per request, and use mojo::Binding.
-
-### Capabilities
-
-While the code above looks like it should work, if we were to type it all in,
-build it and run it it still wouldn’t. In fact, if we ran it, we’d see this
-error in the console:
-
-`Capabilities prevented connection from: mojo:app to mojo:service`
-
-The answer lies in an omission in one of the files I didn’t discuss earlier, the
-manifest.json, specifically the empty “capabilities” dictionary.
-
-You can think of an interface (and its underlying client handle) as a
-capability. If you have it, and it’s bound, you can call methods on it and
-something will happen. If you don’t have a bound InterfacePtr, you (effectively)
-don’t have that capability.
-
-At the top level, the Service Manager implements the delegation of capabilities
-in accordance with rules spelled out in each service’s manifest.
-
-Each service produces a manifest file with some typical metadata about itself,
-and a “capability spec”. A capability spec describes classes of
-capabilities offered by the service, classes of capabilities and individual
-capabilities consumed by the service. Let’s study a fairly complete capability
-spec from another service’s manifest:
-
- "capabilities": {
- "provided": {
- "web": ["if1", "if2"],
- "uid": []
- "“god-mode"”: [“"*”"]
- },
- "required": {
- "*": { "classes": ["c1", "c2"], "interfaces": ["if3", "if4"] },
- "mojo:foo": { "classes": ["c3"], "interfaces": ["if5"] }
- }
- }
-
-At the top level of the capabilities dictionary are two sub-dictionaries.
-
-#### Provided Capability Classes
-
-The provided dictionary enumerates the capability classes provided by the
-service. A capability class is an alias, either to some special behavior exposed
-by the service to remote services that request that class, or to a set of
-interfaces exposed by the service to remote services. In the former case, in the
-dictionary we provide an empty array as the value of the class name key, in the
-latter case we provide an array with a list of the fully qualified Mojo
-interface names (module.path.InterfaceName). A special case of array is one that
-contains the single entry “*”, which means “all interfaces”. In the example
-above, when another service connects to this one and requests the “god-mode”
-class in its manifest, it can connect to all interfaces exposed by this service.
-
-#### Required Capabilities
-
-The required dictionary enumerates the capability classes and interfaces
-required by the service. The keys into this dictionary are the names of the
-services it intends to connect to, and the values for each key are “capability
-specs” that describe the capability classes and individual interfaces that this
-class needs to operate correctly. Here again, an array value for the
-“interfaces” key in the capability spec consisting of a single “*” means the
-service needs to bind all interfaces exposed by that service. Additionally, a
-“*” key in the “required” dictionary allows the service to provide a capability
-spec that must be adhered to by all applications it connects to.
-
-Note that a service need not enumerate every interface it provides in the
-provided dictionary. This is done effectively at runtime when the service calls
-AddInterface() on inbound connections. The service merely describes groups of
-interfaces in capability classes as an ergonomic measure. Without capability
-classes, services would have to explicitly state every interface they intended
-to bind, which would make the manifests very cumbersome to author.
-
-Armed with this knowledge, we can return to app_manifest.json from the first
-example and fill out the capability spec:
-
- {
- “"manifest_version"”: 1,
- "“name"”: "“mojo:app"”,
- “"display_name"”: “"Example App"”,
- "“capabilities"”: {
- "“required"”: {
- “"mojo:service"”: [],
- }
- }
- }
-
-If we just run now, it still won’t work, and we’ll see this error:
-
- Connection CapabilitySpec prevented binding to interface mojom.SomeInterface
- connection_name: mojo:service remote_name: mojo:app
-
-The connection was allowed to complete, but the attempt to bind
-`mojom.SomeInterface` was blocked. We need to add that interface to the array in
-the manifest:
-
- "“required"”: {
- "“mojo:service"”: [ “"mojom::SomeInterface"” ],
- }
-
-Now everything should work.
-
-(Note that we didn’t write a manifest for mojo:service. We’d need to do that
-too, though for this example we wouldn’t have to describe mojom.SomeInterface in
-the provided section of its capability spec, since it wasn’t part of a class.
-Connecting services like mojo:app just need to state that interface.)
-
-### Testing
-
-Now that we’ve built a simple application and service, it’s time to write a test
-for them. The Shell client library provides a gtest base class
-**shell::test::ServiceTest** that makes writing integration tests of services
-straightforward. Let’s look at a simple test of our service:
-
- #include "“base/bind.h”"
- #include “"base/run_loop.h”"
- #include “"mojo/shell/public/cpp/service_test.h”"
- #include “"path/to/some_interface.mojom.h”"
-
- void QuitLoop(base::RunLoop* loop) {
- loop->Quit();
- }
-
- class Test : public shell::test::ServiceTest {
- public:
- Test() : shell::test::ServiceTest(“exe:service_unittest”) {}
- ~Test() override {}
- }
-
- TEST_F(Test, Basic) {
- mojom::SomeInterface some_interface;
- connector()->ConnectToInterface(“"mojo:service"”, &some_interface);
- base::RunLoop loop;
- some_interface->Foo(base::Bind(&QuitLoop, &loop));
- loop.Run();
- }
-
-The BUILD.gn for this test file looks like any other using the test() template.
-It must also depend on //services/shell/public/cpp:shell_test_support.
-
-ServiceTest does a few things, but most importantly it register the test itself
-as a Service, with the name you pass it via its constructor. In the example
-above, we supplied the name “exe:service_unittest”. This name is has no special
-meaning other than that henceforth it will be used to identify the test service.
-
-Behind the scenes, ServiceTest spins up the Service Manager on a background
-thread, and asks it to create an instance for the test service on the main
-thread, with the name supplied. ServiceTest blocks the main thread while the
-Service Manager thread does this initialization. Once the Service Manager has
-created the instance, it calls OnStart() (as for any other service), and the
-main thread continues, running the test. At this point accessors defined in
-service_test.h like connector() can be used to connect to other services.
-
-You’ll note in the example above I made Foo() take a callback, this is to give
-the test something interesting to do. In the mojom for SomeInterface we’d have
-the Foo() method return an empty response. In mojo:service, we’d have Foo() take
-the callback as a parameter, and run it. In the test, we spin a RunLoop until we
-get that response. In real world cases we can pass back state & validate
-expectations. You can see real examples of this test framework in use in the
-Service Manager’s own suite of tests, under //services/shell/tests.
-
-### Packaging
-
-By default a .library statically links its dependencies, so having many of them
-will yield an installed product many times larger than Chrome today. For this
-reason it’s desirable to package several Services together in a single binary.
-The Service Manager provides an interface **shell.mojom.ServiceFactory**:
-
- interface ServiceFactory {
- CreateService(Service& service, string name);
- };
-
-When implemented by a service, the service becomes a “package” of other
-services, which are instantiated by this interface. Imagine we have two services
-mojo:service1 and mojo:service2, and we wish to package them together in a
-single package mojo:services. We write the Service implementations for
-mojo:service1 and mojo:service2, and then a Service implementation for
-mojo:services - the latter implements ServiceFactory and instantiates the other
-two:
-
- using shell::mojom::ServiceFactory;
- using shell::mojom::ServiceRequest;
-
- class Services : public shell::Service,
- public shell::InterfaceFactory<ServiceFactory>,
- public ServiceFactory {
-
- // Expose ServiceFactory to inbound connections and implement
- // InterfaceFactory to bind requests for it to this object.
- void CreateService(ServiceRequest request,
- const std::string& name) {
- if (name == “mojo:service1”)
- new Service1(std::move(request));
- else if (name == “mojo:service2”)
- new Service2(std::move(request));
- }
- }
-
-This is only half the story though. While this does mean that mojo:service1 and
-mojo:service2 are now packaged (statically linked) with mojo:services, as it
-stands to connect to either packaged service you’d have to connect to
-mojo:services first, and call CreateService yourself. This is undesirable for a
-couple of reasons, firstly in that it complicates the connect flow, secondly in
-that it forces details of the packaging, which are a distribution-level
-implementation detail on clients wishing to use a service.
-
-To solve this, the Service Manager actually automates resolving packaged service
-names to the package service. The Service Manager considers the name of a
-service provided by some other package service to be an “alias” to that package
-service. The Service Manager resolves these aliases based on information found,
-you guessed it, in the manifests for the package client.
-
-Let’s imagine mojo:service1 and mojo:service2 have typical manifests of the form
-we covered earlier. Now imagine mojo:services, the package service that combines
-the two. In the application install directory rather than the following
-structure:
-
- service1/service1.library,manifest.json
- service2/service2.library,manifest.json
-
-Instead we’ll have:
-
- package/services.library,manifest.json
-
-The manifest for the package service describes not only itself, but includes the
-manifests of all the services it provides. Fortunately there is some GN build
-magic that automates generating this meta-manifest, so you don’t need to write
-it by hand. In the service_manifest() template instantiation for services, we
-add the following lines:
-
- deps = [ “":service1_manifest”", "“:service2_manifest”" ]
- packaged_services = [ “"service1”", “"service2"” ]
-
-The deps line lists the service_manifest targets for the packaged services to be
-consumed, and the packaged_services line provides the service names, without the
-“mojo:” prefix. The presence of these two lines will cause the Manifest Collator
-script to run, merging the dependent manifests into the package manifest. You
-can study the resulting manifest to see what gets generated.
-
-At startup, the Service Manager will scan the package directory and consume the
-manifests it finds, so it can learn about how to resolve aliases that it might
-encounter subsequently.
-
-### Executables
-
-Thus far, the examples we’ve covered have packaged Services in .library files.
-It’s also possible to have a conventional executable provide a Service. There
-are two different ways to use executables with the Service Manager, the first is
-to have the Service Manager start the executable itself, the second is to have
-some other executable start the process and then tell the Service Manager about
-it. In both cases, the target executable has to perform a handshake with the
-Service Manager early on so it can bind the Service request the Service Manager
-sends it.
-
-Assuming you have an executable that properly initializes the Mojo EDK, you add
-the following lines at some point early in application startup to establish the
-connection with the Service Manager:
-
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/service.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/public/cpp/service_context.h”"
- #include “"services/shell/runner/child/runner_connection.h”"
-
- class MyClient : public shell::Service {
- ..
- };
-
- shell::mojom::ServiceRequest request;
- scoped_ptr<shell::RunnerConnection> connection(
- shell::RunnerConnection::ConnectToRunner(
- &request, ScopedMessagePipeHandle()));
- MyService service;
- shell::ServiceContext context(&service, std::move(request));
-
-What’s happening here? The Service/ServiceContext usage should be familiar from
-our earlier examples. The interesting part here happens in
-`RunnerConnection::ConnectToRunner()`. Before we look at what ConnectToRunner
-does, it’s important to cover how this process is launched. In this example,
-this process is launched by the Service Manager. This is achieved through the
-use of the “exe” Service Name type. The Service Names we’ve covered thus far
-have looked like “mojo:foo”. The “mojo” prefix means that the Shell should look
-for a .library file at “foo/foo.library” alongside the Service Manager
-executable. If the code above was linked into an executable “app.exe” alongside
-the Service Manager executable in the output directory, it can be launched by
-connecting to the name “exe:app”. When the Service Manager launches an
-executable, it passes a pipe to it on the command line, which the executable is
-expected to bind to receive a ServiceRequest on. Now back to ConnectToRunner.
-It spins up a background “control” thread with the Service Manager, binds the
-pipe from the command line parameter, and blocks the main thread until the
-ServiceRequest arrives and can be bound.
-
-Like services provided from .library files, we have to provide a manifest for
-services provided from executables. The format is identical, but in the
-service_manifest template we need to set the type property to “exe” to cause the
-generation step to put the manifest in the right place (it gets placed alongside
-the executable, with the name <exe_name>_manifest.json.)
-
-### Service-Launched Processes
-
-There are some scenarios where a service will need to launch its own process,
-rather than relying on the Service Manager to do it. The Connector API provides
-the ability to tell the Shell about a process that the service has or will
-create. The executable that the service launches (henceforth referred to as the
-“target”) should be written using RunnerConnection as discussed in the previous
-section. The connect flow in the service that launches the target (henceforth
-referred to as the driver) works like this:
-
- base::FilePath target_path;
- base::PathService::Get(base::DIR_EXE, &target_path);
- target_path = target_path.Append(FILE_PATH_LITERAL("“target.exe"”));
- base::CommandLine target_command_line(target_path);
-
- mojo::edk::PlatformChannelPair pair;
- mojo::edk::HandlePassingInformation info;
- pair.PrepareToPassClientHandleToChildProcess(&target_command_line, &info);
-
- std::string token = mojo::edk::GenerateRandomToken();
- target_command_line.AppendSwitchASCII(switches::kPrimordialPipeToken,
- token);
-
- mojo::ScopedMessagePipeHandle pipe =
- mojo::edk::CreateParentMessagePipe(token);
-
- shell::mojom::ServiceFactoryPtr factory;
- factory.Bind(
- mojo::InterfacePtrInfo<shell::mojom::ServiceFactory>(
- std::move(pipe), 0u));
- shell::mojom::PIDReceiverPtr receiver;
-
- shell::Identity target(“"exe:target”",shell::mojom::kInheritUserID);
- shell::Connector::ConnectParams params(target);
- params.set_client_process_connection(std::move(factory),
- GetProxy(&receiver));
- scoped_ptr<shell::Connection> connection = connector->Connect(&params);

- base::LaunchOptions options;

- mojo::edk::ChildProcessLaunched(process.Handle(), pair.PassServerHandle());

-That’s a lot. But it boils down to these steps:
-1. Creating the message pipe to connect the target process and the Service
-Manager.
-2. Putting the server end of the pipe onto the command line to the target
-process.
-3. Binding the client end to a ServiceFactoryPtr, constructing an Identity for
-the target process and passing both through Connector::Connect().
-4. Starting the process with the configured command line.
-
-In this example the target executable could be the same as the previous example.
-
-A word about process lifetimes. Processes created by the shell are managed by
-the Service Manager. While a service-launched process may quit itself at any
-point, when the Service Manager shuts down it will also shut down any process it
-started. Processes created by services themselves are left to those services to
-manage.

-TBD:
-
-Instances & Processes
-
-Client lifetime strategies
-
-Process lifetimes.
-
-Writing tests (ShellTest)
-Under the Hood
-Four major components: Shell API (Mojom), Shell, Catalog, Shell Client Lib.
-The connect flow, catalog, etc.
-Capability brokering in the shell
-Userids
-
-Finer points:
-
-Mojo Names: mojo, exe
-Exposing services on outbound connections
