Description-en: Daemon to transfer Android DNS property to resolv.conf
Small user space daemon to get the Android DNS server setting and
maintain the resolver config on a regulary basis. Note, that this
daemon has to be started by some running android programs, in order
to have the ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE environment variable and
the /dev/ashmem file descriptor (usually #9) that is inherited from
the calling process. Another note: cannot be started from a login
shell, because `bash --login` closes all inherited file descriptors.
.
This only makes sense to install on a Debian chroot running on Android.
