PROTOCOLS

Realm

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/realm.fidl

A protocol used by a component instance to manage its own realm, such as for binding to its children.

The component manager provides this service to components that use /svc/fuchsia.sys2.Realm.

BindChild

Binds to a child component instance, causing it to start running if it is not already. When this function successfully returns, child is running and exposed_dir is bound to a directory that contains the capabilities which the child exposed to its realm via ComponentDecl.exposes (specified via "expose" declarations in the component’s manifest).

exposed_dir is a valid channel as long as child is running. child will remain running until it either stops on its own, or DestroyChild causes the child instance to be destroyed.

For example, if the child exposes a service /svc/example.Echo then exposed_dir will contain that service at that path.

NOTE: BindChild does not support pipelining with CreateChild. If BindChild is called on an instance before CreateChild successfully returns, it may return INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND.

Errors:

• INVALID_ARGUMENTS: child is not a valid child reference. -
• INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND: child does not exist.
• INSTANCE_CANNOT_START: child was not running and there was an error starting it.
• INSTANCE_CANNOT_RESOLVE: child's component declaration failed to resolve.

Request

Name	Type
child	ChildRef
exposed_dir	request<fuchsia.io/Directory>

Response

Name	Type
result	Realm_BindChild_Result

CreateChild

Creates a child component instance dynamically. When this function returns successfully, the instance exists, but it may not be running.

Errors:

• INVALID_ARGUMENTS: collection is not a valid reference or child is not a valid declaration.
• COLLECTION_NOT_FOUND: collection does not exist.
• INSTANCE_ALREADY_EXISTS: decl.name already exists in collection.
• NO_SPACE: Could not allocate storage for the new instance.

Request

Name	Type
collection	CollectionRef
decl	ChildDecl

Response

Name	Type
result	Realm_CreateChild_Result

DestroyChild

Destroys a dynamically-created component instance. When this function returns, the client should assume the instance no longer exists. However, some cleanup (such as stopping the component instance or freeing its storage) may be performed in the background after the function returns.

Errors:

• INVALID_ARGUMENTS: child is not a valid reference or does not refer to a dynamic instance.
• INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND: child does not exist.
• COLLECTION_NOT_FOUND: collection does not exist.

Request

Name	Type
child	ChildRef

Response

Name	Type
result	Realm_DestroyChild_Result

ListChildren

Returns an iterator that lists all instances in a collection.

NOTE: The results are not guaranteed to be consistent. Instances may be created or destroyed while the iterator is live, but those changes won't be observed by the iterator after this method returns.

Errors:

• INVALID_ARGUMENTS: collection is not a valid reference.
• COLLECTION_NOT_FOUND: collection does not exist.

Request

Name	Type
collection	CollectionRef
iter	request<ChildIterator>

Response

Returns a vector of ChildRef. Returns an empty vector when there are no more children.

Request

Name	Type

Response

Name	Type
children	vector<ChildRef>

ComponentResolver

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/component_resolver.fidl

An interface for resolving a URL to a component.

This interface is implemented by components that provide support for loading components with a particular URL scheme. For example, the Fuchsia package component resolver exposes a service with this interface to resolve component URLs using the "fuchsia-pkg://" scheme.

To use a resolver to resolve URLs within your realm, register it in your realm's manifest. (TODO: explain in more detail)

Note: The component manager is the only intended direct client of this interface.

Resolve

Resolves a component with the given URL.

component_url is the unescaped URL of the component to resolve.

If successful, returns ZX_OK and information about the component that was resolved.

On failure, returns null info and...

• ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS: The component's URL was malformed.
• ZX_ERR_NOT_FOUND: The component does not exist.
• ZX_ERR_UNAVAILABLE: The resolver was unable to retrieve or parse the component's resources.

Request

Name	Type
component_url	string

Response

Name	Type
status	zx/status
component	Component

ComponentRunner

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/component_runner.fidl

An interface for running components.

This interface is implemented by components that provide an execution environment for running particular classes of programs. For example, the Dart virtual machine exposes a service with this interface to run Dart programs.

To specify the runner needed to run your component, set the "runner_url" property in your component's manifest.

Note: The component manager is the only intended direct client of this interface.

Start

Starts running a new component instance described by start_info.

The caller of this method takes responsibility for binding client connections and controlling the lifetime of the newly started component instance through the requested controller.

If an error is returned, the runner must ensure that resources are cleaned up; the caller will not invoke the controller interfaces, for example.

Errors:

• INVALID_ARGUMENTS: resolved_url is not supported by this runner; program contains missing or invalid arguments; or a required field in start_info (such ns, outgoing_dir, or runtime_dir) was not provided.
• INSTANCE_CANNOT_START: The runner could not start the component. For example, a critical part of the program could not be found or loaded, or the referenced binary was invalid for this runner.
• NO_SPACE: The component could not be launched due to lack of resources.
• INTERNAL: An unexpected internal runner error was encountered.

Request

Name	Type
start_info	ComponentStartInfo
controller	request<ComponentController>

Response

Name	Type
result	ComponentRunner_Start_Result

ComponentController

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/component_runner.fidl

An interface for binding client connections and controlling the lifetime of a component instance started using ComponentRunner.Start().

When the controlled component instance terminates or becomes inaccessible for any reason, the server invokes OnEpitaph() and closes its endpoint of the controller interface.

LIFECYCLE

A component may exist in one of two states, Started or Stopped. The component is Started from time ComponentRunner.Start() is called until the ComponentRunner closes the ComponentController handle. The component then transitions to Stopped.

Stop() is called to indicate a ComponentRunner should end a component's execution. Kill() indicates that a runner must halt a component's execution immediately and close the ComponentController's server end. After the ComponentController is closed the component manager can tear down the namespace it hosts for the stopped component. The component manager may call Kill() without first having called Stop().

EPITAPH

This interface uses a FIDL epitaph to indicate that the controller component instance has terminated and to describe its final disposition.

The following epitaph status codes have particular significance:

• ZX_OK: The component instance was successfully terminated in response to Stop() and its runtime resources have been fully released.
• ZX_ERR_UNAVAILABLE: The runner was unable to start the component instance. e.g. The runner could not retrieve the component's assets.
• ERR_COMPONENT_DIED: The component instance was started but subsequently terminated unexpectedly.

Other status codes (e.g. ZX_ERR_PEER_CLOSED) may indicate a failure of the component runner itself. The component manager may respond to such failures by terminating the component runner's job to ensure system stability.

Stop

Requests the runner to stop the controlled component instance.

After stopping the component instance, the server should report an epitaph then close its endpoint of the controller interface.

Request

Name	Type

Kill

Stop this component immediately. This ComponentRunner must immediately kill the component instance, set an epitaph set on the channel, and close the channel. After the channel closes, the component instance will be considered by the component manager to be Stopped and the component's namespace will be torn down.

Kill() may have been preceeded by Stop(), but that is not guaranteed.

Request

Name	Type

SystemController

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/system_controller.fidl

An interface implemented by ComponentManager that requests the ComponentManager stop all components and exit.

Shutdown

Stop all components, return an empty result, close this protocol's channel, and exit ComponentManager. If this is the root ComponentManager is exited we expect the system will reboot.

WorkScheduler

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/work_scheduler.fidl

Framework service: API for scheduling and canceling work. Each component instance can access work items that it has scheduled (but not others' scheduled work items). Work items are scheduled roughly at the specified time and frequency; the service implementation may specify its notion of roughly, and may provide a configuration API to tune this notion.

Each scheduled work item is identified by a client-provided WorkId. Each scheduled work item has a WorkId that is unique with respect to scheduled work items belonging to the same component instance.

ScheduleWork

Schedule a new work item identified by work_id. The work item is to be scheduled roughly at the time corresponding to work_request.start. When work_request.period is specified, reschedule work roughly every work_request.period until the the work item is canceled.

Request

Name	Type
work_id	WorkId
work_request	WorkRequest

Response

result	WorkScheduler_ScheduleWork_Result

CancelWork

Worker

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/work_scheduler.fidl

Component-exposed service: Work scheduler connects to this service to invoke scheduled work item callbacks. The service implementation is responsible for invoking the code that corresponds to the scheduled work item identified by work_id.

Note: The intent of exposing this service is to expose it to the WorkScheduler service provider (i.e., the framework) and no one else.

DoWork

Request

Name	Type
work_id	WorkId

Response

Name	Type
result	Worker_DoWork_Result

WorkSchedulerControl

Defined in fuchsia.sys2/work_scheduler.fidl

Framework service: Administrative API for controlling parameters of the WorkScheduler framework service. So long as there are work items with deadlines in the next batch_period, the WorkScheduler will sleep for batch_period, then wake up and immediately dispatch a batch of work items: all those with past deadlines. It will repeat this process until no work items would be scheduled in the next batch_period, at which point it will go to sleep until the next deadline. This strategy ensures that each work item is dispatched approximately within batch_period of its deadline.

GetBatchPeriod

Get the current period between WorkScheduler attempts to dispatch a batch of work. batch_period is a non-negative 64-bit integer in the range [0, 2^63-1], representing a number of nanoseconds between dispatching batches of work.

To understand this better, consider two component instances labeled "A" and "B" that are both children of a component instance labeled "P".

At runtime, when "B" requests a service from "A" through a channel established by the component manager, the component manager may provide "A" with a moniker that encodes "B's" identity relative to "A" itself. The moniker's encoded value describes the directed path to traverse from "A" (the moniker's origin) to "B" (the moniker's referent), passing through "P" (their common ancestor).
