在 Android中使用启动脚本init.rc,可以在系统的初始化过程中进行一些简单的初始化操作。这个脚本被直接安装到目标系统的根文件系统中,被 init可执行程序解析。 init.rc是在init启动后被执行的启动脚本,其语法主要包含了以下内容:
Commands:命令
Actions: 动作
Triggers:触发条件
Services:服务
Options: 选项
Propertise:属性
(1) Commands是一些基本的操作,例如:
mkdir /sdcard 0000 system system
mkdir /system
mkdir /data 0771 system system
mkdir /cache 0770 system cache
mkdir /config 0500 root root
mkdir /sqlite_stmt_journals 01777 root root
mount tmpfs tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals size=4m
这些命令在init可执行程序中被解析,然后调用相关的函数来实现。
(2) Actions(动作)表示一系列的命令,通常在Triggers(触发条件)中调用,动作和触发条件的形式为:
on <trigger>
<command>
<command>
<command>
动作的使用示例如下:
on init
export PATH /sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
mkdir /system
init表示一个触发条件,这个触发事件发生后,进行设置环境变量和建立目录的操作称为一个“动作”
(3) Services(服务)通常表示启动一个可执行程序,Options(选项)是服务的附加内容,用于配合服务使用。
service vold /system/bin/vold
socket vold stream 0660 root mount
service bootsound /system/bin/playmp3
user media
group audio
oneshot
vold和bootsound分别是两个服务的名称,/system/bin/vold和/system /bin/playmp3分别是他们所对应的可执行程序。
socket、user、group、oneshot就是配合服务使用的选项。其中oneshot选项表示该服务只启动一次,而如果没有oneshot选项,
这个可执行程序会一直存在--如果可执行程序被杀死,则会重新启动。
(4) Properties(属性)是系统中使用的一些值,可以进行设置和读取。
setprop ro.FOREGROUND_APP_MEM 1536
setprop ro.VISIBLE_APP_MEM 2048
on property:ro.kernel.qemu=1
start adbd
setprop 用于设置属性,on property可以用于判断属性,这里的属性在整个Android系统运行中都是一致的。
init脚本的关键字可以参考init进程的system/core/init/keyword.h文件。
init.rc的使用方法,可以参考说明文件system/core/init/readme.txt
如果想要修改启动过程只需要修改init.c(system/core/init)或者init.rc里的内容即可.

Android Init Language
---------------------
The Android Init Language consists of four broad classes of statements,
which are Actions, Commands, Services, and Options.
All of these are line-oriented, consisting of tokens separated by
whitespace. The c-style backslash escapes may be used to insert
whitespace into a token. Double quotes may also be used to prevent
whitespace from breaking text into multiple tokens. The backslash,
when it is the last character on a line, may be used for line-folding.
Lines which start with a # (leading whitespace allowed) are comments.
Actions and Services implicitly declare a new section. All commands
or options belong to the section most recently declared. Commands
or options before the first section are ignored.
Actions and Services have unique names. If a second Action or Service
is declared with the same name as an existing one, it is ignored as
an error. (??? should we override instead)
Actions
-------
Actions are named sequences of commands. Actions have a trigger which
is used to determine when the action should occur. When an event
occurs which matches an action's trigger, that action is added to
the tail of a to-be-executed queue (unless it is already on the
queue).
Each action in the queue is dequeued in sequence and each command in
that action is executed in sequence. Init handles other activities
(device creation/destruction, property setting, process restarting)
"between" the execution of the commands in activities.
Actions take the form of:
on <trigger>
<command>
<command>
<command>
Services
--------
Services are programs which init launches and (optionally) restarts
when they exit. Services take the form of:
service <name> <pathname> [ <argument> ]*
<option>
<option>
...
Options
-------
Options are modifiers to services. They affect how and when init
runs the service.
critical
This is a device-critical service. If it exits more than four times in
four minutes, the device will reboot into recovery mode.
disabled
This service will not automatically start with its class.
It must be explicitly started by name.
setenv <name> <value>
Set the environment variable <name> to <value> in the launched process.
