Overview

When the mlink-daemon service detects a new MirrorLink device, it publishes the device's MirrorLink apps (up to a maximum of 10) to the /pps/services/mirrorlink/applications object.

To enable these MirrorLink apps to be launched from the HMI, the mlink-daemon service also creates shortcuts for the apps (in the /apps/ directory) and then publishes the apps to the /pps/system/navigator/applications/applications object.

Note: The mlink-daemon service also publishes to these PPS objects:

Object format

Each line in the object has three colon-separated fields:

where:
app_number
The app's current number (0 to 9), prefixed with VNC..
entity
Hexadecimal number identifying the device, prefixed with MLD..
app_name
The app's name as reported by the device.
