@1.2::IServiceManager: listManifestByInterface
This API lists VINTF manifest HALs (those that are expected to be on
the device even if they are not currently running).
This API is being added for a couple of reasons:
- libvintf is not in the VNDK. This new API will allow vendors to read
the vintf manifest and get the HALs which are expected to be on the
device.
- more and more HALs are using dynamic lifecycles which means an API
like this is increasingly useful.
- having an easy API like this helps ensure that vintf things are
easier to get correct since users of this API will automatically
get the correct configuration.
There are a couple of possible expected usages of this API:
# running HALs
R = listByInterface(IFoo::descriptor)
# VINTF Manifest HALs
M = listManfiestByInterface(IFoo::descriptor)
# Lazy HALs that are not started
... = M - R
# Getting all HALs on the device if some are lazy
for i in M:
... = IFoo::getService(i)
