# libbrillo: platform utility library
|
|
|
|
libbrillo is a shared library meant to hold common utility code that we deem
|
|
useful for platform projects.
|
|
It supplements the functionality provided by libbase/libchrome since that
|
|
project, by design, only holds functionality that Chromium (the browser) needs.
|
|
As a result, this tends to be more OS-centric code.
|
|
|
|
## AOSP Usage
|
|
|
|
This project is also used by [Update Engine] which is maintained in AOSP.
|
|
However, AOSP doesn't use this codebase directly, it maintains its own
|
|
[libbrillo fork](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/libbrillo/).
|
|
|
|
To help keep the projects in sync, we have a gsubtree set up on our GoB:
|
|
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/libbrillo/
|
|
|
|
This allows AOSP to cherry pick or merge changes directly back into their fork.
