+# Sample service for testing
+This is a sample service that can be used for testing init.
+
+## Design
+The service includes a `.rc` file that allows starting it from init.
+
+    service test_service /system/bin/test_service CapAmb 0000000000003000
+        class main
+        user system
+        group system
+        capabilities NET_ADMIN NET_RAW
+        disabled
+        oneshot
+
+The service accepts any even number of arguments on the command line
+(i.e. any number of pairs of arguments.)
+It will attempt to find the first element of each pair of arguments in
+`/proc/self/status`, and attempt to exactly match the second element of the pair
+to the relevant line of `proc/self/status`.
+
+### Example
+In the above case, the service will look for lines containing `CapAmb`:
+
+    cat /proc/self/status
+    ...
+    CapAmb:	0000000000003000
+
+And then attempt to exactly match the token after `:`, `0000000000003000`,
+with the command-line argument.
+If they match, the service exits successfully. If not, the service will exit
+with an error.
+
+## Usage
+	mmma -j <jobs> system/core/init/testservice
+	adb root
+	adb remount
+	adb sync
+	adb reboot
+	adb root
+	adb shell start test_service
+	adb logcat -b all -d | grep test_service
+
+Look for an exit status of 0.
