Roles of afb-daemon

+ +

The name afb-daemon stands for Application +Framework Binder Daemon. That is why afb-daemon +is also named the binder.

+ +

Afb-daemon is in charge to bind one instance of +an application to the AGL framework and AGL system.

+ +

+                   AGL SYSTEM
+
+ +

The application and its companion binder run in secured and isolated +environment set for them. Applications are intended to access to AGL +system through the binder.

+ +

The binder afb-daemon serves multiple purposes:

+ +
    +

  1. It acts as a gateway for the application to access the system;

    2. +

  2. It acts as an HTTP server for serving files to HTML5 applications;

    3. +

  3. It allows HTML5 applications to have native extensions subject +to security enforcement for accessing hardware ressources or +for speeding parts of algorithm.
