# Android heap profiling daemon. go/heapprofd. # # On user builds, this daemon is responsible for receiving the initial # profiling configuration, finding matching target processes (if profiling by # process name), and sending the activation signal to them (+ setting system # properties for new processes to start profiling from startup).
