+This library turns on recording of skia commands in SkiaGL version of the RE.
+The debug property defines number of milliseconds for the recording to take place.
+A non zero value turns on the recording. The recording will stop after MS specified.
+To reset the recording, set the capture_skia_ms flag to a new time. When recording
+is finished, the capture_skia_ms flag will be set to 0 to avoid circular recording.
+
+In order to allow the process to write files onto the device run:
+adb shell setenforce 0
+
+To start recording run:
+adb shell setprop debug.renderengine.capture_skia_ms 1000
+
+File will be stored in the /data/user/ directory on the device:
+adb shell ls -al /data/user/
+
+To retrieve the data from the device:
+adb pull /data/user/re_skiacapture_<timestamp>.mskp
