-The afm-system-daemon
-=====================
-
-Foreword
---------
-
-This document describes application framework system daemon fundamentals.
-FCF (Fully Conform to Specification) implementation is still under development.
-It may happen that current implementation somehow diverges with specifications.
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-The daemon **afm-system-daemon** is in charge of installing
-applications on AGL system. Its main tasks are:
-
- - installs applications and setup security framework
- for newly installed application.
-
- - uninstall applications
-
-The **afm-system-daemon** takes its orders from system
-instance of D-Bus.
-
-The figure below summarizes the situation of **afm-system-daemon** in the system.

-Starting **afm-system-daemon**
-------------------------------
-
-**afm-system-daemon** is launched as a **systemd** service
-attached to system. Normally, the service file is
-located at /lib/systemd/system/afm-system-daemon.service.
-
-The options for launching **afm-system-daemon** are:
-
- -r
- --root directory
-
- Set the root application directory.
-
- Note that the default root directory is defined
- to be /usr/share/afm/applications (may change).
-
- -d
- --daemon
-
- Daemonizes the process. It is not needed by sytemd.
-
- -q
- --quiet
-
- Reduces the verbosity (can be repeated).
-
- -v
- --verbose
-
- Increases the verbosity (can be repeated).
-
- -h
- --help
-
- Prints a short help.
-
-The D-Bus interface
--------------------
-
-### Overview of the dbus interface
-
-***afm-system-daemon*** takes its orders from the session instance
-of D-Bus. The use of D-Bus is great because it allows to implement
-discovery and signaling.
-
-The **afm-system-daemon** is listening with the destination name
-***org.AGL.afm.system*** at the object of path ***/org/AGL/afm/system***
-on the interface ***org.AGL.afm.system*** for the below detailed
-members ***install*** and ***uninstall***.
-
-D-Bus is mainly used for signaling and discovery. Its optimized
-typed protocol is not used except for transmitting only one string
-in both directions.
-
-The client and the service are using JSON serialization to
-exchange data.
-
-The D-Bus interface is defined by:
-
- * DESTINATION: **org.AGL.afm.system**
-
- * PATH: **/org/AGL/afm/system**
-
- * INTERFACE: **org.AGL.afm.system**
-
-The signature of any member of the interface is ***string -> string***
-for ***JSON -> JSON***.
-
-This is the normal case. In case of error, the current implementation
-returns a dbus error that is a string.
-
-Here is an example using *dbus-send* to query data on
-installed applications.
-
- dbus-send --session --print-reply \
- --dest=org.AGL.afm.system \
- /org/AGL/afm/system \
- org.AGL.afm.system.install 'string:"/tmp/appli.wgt"'
-
-### The protocol over D-Bus
-
----
-
-#### Method org.AGL.afm.system.install
-
-**Description**: Install an application from a widget file.
-
-When an application with the same *id* and *version* already exists. Outside of
-using *force=true* the application is not reinstalled.
-
-Applications are installed the subdirectories of applications common directory.
-If *root* is specified, the application is installed under the
-sub-directories of the *root* defined.
-
-Note that this methods is a simple accessor method of
-***org.AGL.afm.system.install*** from ***afm-system-daemon***.
-
-After the installation and before returning to the sender,
-***afm-system-daemon*** sends a signal ***org.AGL.afm.system.changed***.
-
-**Input**: The *path* of the widget file to install and, optionally,
-a flag to *force* reinstallation, and, optionally, a *root* directory.
-
-Either just a string being the absolute path of the widget file:
-
- "/a/path/driving/to/the/widget"
-
-Or an object:
-
- {
- "wgt": "/a/path/to/the/widget",
- "force": false,
- "root": "/a/path/to/the/root"
- }
-
-"wgt" and "root" must be absolute paths.
-
-**output**: An object with the field "added" being the string for
-the id of the added application.
-
- {"added":"appli@x.y"}
-
----
-
-#### Method org.AGL.afm.system.uninstall
-
-**Description**: Uninstall an application from its id.
-
-
-Note that this methods is a simple method accessor of
-***org.AGL.afm.system.uninstall*** from ***afm-system-daemon***.
-
-After the uninstallation and before returning to the sender,
-***afm-system-daemon*** sends a signal ***org.AGL.afm.system.changed***.
-
-**Input**: the *id* of the application and optionally the application *root* path.
-
-Either a string:
-
- "appli@x.y"
-
-Or an object:
-
- {
- "id": "appli@x.y",
- "root": "/a/path/to/the/root"
- }
-
-**output**: the value 'true'.
