android has it’s own language for the init system
- see: $AOSP-src/system/core/init/README.md
in https://github.com/LineageOS/android/blob/lineage-21.0/default.xml you can search for paths in the aosp-src and find the coresponding git repo
- eg: “$AOSP-src/system/core” → https://github.com/LineageOS/android_system_core
https://github.com/nmeum/android-tools
