+ * WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
+ *
+ * This program runs as set-uid root on Android production devices.
+ * Be very conservative when modifying it to avoid any serious
+ * security issue. Keep in mind the following:
+ *
+ * - This program should only run for the 'root' or 'shell' users
+ *
+ * - Statically link against the C library, and avoid anything that
+ * is more complex than simple system calls until the uid/gid has
+ * been dropped to that of a normal user or you are sure to exit.
+ *
+ * This avoids depending on environment variables, system properties
+ * and other external factors that may affect the C library in
+ * unpredictable ways.
+ *
+ * - Do not trust user input and/or the filesystem whenever possible.
+ *
+ * Read README.TXT for more details.
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * The purpose of this program is to run a command as a specific
+ * application user-id. Typical usage is:
+ *
+ * run-as <package-name> <command> <args>
+ *
+ * The 'run-as' binary is setuid, but will check the following:
+ *
+ * - that it is invoked from the 'shell' or 'root' user (abort otherwise)
+ * - that '<package-name>' is the name of an installed and debuggable package
+ * - that the package's data directory is well-formed (see package.c)
+ *
+ * If so, it will cd to the package's data directory, drop to the application's
+ * user id / group id then run the command there.
+ *
+ * This can be useful for a number of different things on production devices:
+ *
+ * - Allow application developers to look at their own applicative data
+ * during development.
+ *
+ * - Run the 'gdbserver' binary executable to allow native debugging
