/**
* Base interface for a remotable object, the core part of a lightweight
* remote procedure call mechanism designed for high performance when
* performing in-process and cross-process calls. This
* interface describes the abstract protocol for interacting with a
* remotable object. Do not implement this interface directly, instead
* extend from {@link Binder}.
* 远程对象的基本接口，是为高性能而设计的轻量级远程调用机制的核心部分，可以被用于
* 远程调用和进程内调用。这个接口描述了一个用于和远程对象交互的抽象协议。不要直接
* 实现这个接口，而是继承Binder对象。
*
* <p>The key IBinder API is {@link #transact transact()} matched by
* {@link Binder#onTransact Binder.onTransact()}. These
* methods allow you to send a call to an IBinder object and receive a
* call coming in to a Binder object, respectively. This transaction API
* is synchronous, such that a call to {@link #transact transact()} does not
* return until the target has returned from
* {@link Binder#onTransact Binder.onTransact()}; this is the
* expected behavior when calling an object that exists in the local
* process, and the underlying inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism
* ensures that these same semantics apply when going across processes.
* IBinder的主要API是transact()，与它对应另一方法是Binder.onTransact()。这些方法
* 允许你去发送和接收一个IBinder对象。IBinder的API都是同步执行的，比如transact()直
* 到对方的Binder.onTransact()方法调用完成后才返回。当调用的对象在本地进程，和保证相
* 同语义的进程间通信，这个行为是可以预见的。
*
* <p>The data sent through transact() is a {@link Parcel}, a generic buffer
* of data that also maintains some meta-data about its contents. The meta
* data is used to manage IBinder object references in the buffer, so that those
* references can be maintained as the buffer moves across processes. This
* mechanism ensures that when an IBinder is written into a Parcel and sent to
* another process, if that other process sends a reference to that same IBinder
* back to the original process, then the original process will receive the
* same IBinder object back. These semantics allow IBinder/Binder objects to
* be used as a unique identity (to serve as a token or for other purposes)
* that can be managed across processes.
* 通过transact()发送的数据是Parcel，Parcel是一种一般的缓冲区，除了有数据外还带有一些描
* 述它内容的元数据。元数据用于管理IBinder对象的引用，这样就能在缓冲区从一个进程移动到另一
* 个进程时保存这些引用。这样就保证了当一个IBinder被写入到Parcel并发送到另一个进程中，如果
* 另一个进程把同一个IBinder的引用回发到原来的进程，那么这个原来的进程就能接收到发出的那个
* IBinder的引用。这种机制使IBinder和Binder像唯一标志符那样在进程间管理。
*
* <p>The system maintains a pool of transaction threads in each process that
* it runs in. These threads are used to dispatch all
* IPCs coming in from other processes. For example, when an IPC is made from
* process A to process B, the calling thread in A blocks in transact() as
* it sends the transaction to process B. The next available pool thread in
* B receives the incoming transaction, calls Binder.onTransact() on the target
* object, and replies with the result Parcel. Upon receiving its result, the
* thread in process A returns to allow its execution to continue. In effect,
* other processes appear to use as additional threads that you did not create
* executing in your own process.
* 这个系统在每个进程中维护了一个用于存放交互线程的线程池。这些交互线程用于派送所有从其他进
* 程发来的IPC调用。例如，当一个IPC从进程A发到进程B，Ａ中那个发出调用的线程就阻塞在transact()
* 中了。B中的交互线程池中的一个线程接收了这个调用，它调用Binder.onTransact()，完成后用一个
* Parcel来做为结果返回。在接收B的结果以后，A中的线程才得以继续执行。实际上，另外一个进程看起来
* 就行一个额外的线程，虽然你没有在你自己的进程中创建它。
*
* <p>The Binder system also supports recursion across processes. For example
* if process A performs a transaction to process B, and process B while
* handling that transaction calls transact() on an IBinder that is implemented
* in A, then the thread in A that is currently waiting for the original
* transaction to finish will take care of calling Binder.onTransact() on the
* object being called by B. This ensures that the recursion semantics when
* calling remote binder object are the same as when calling local objects.
* Binder机制还支持进程间的递归调用。例如，进程Ａ执行自己的IBinder的transact()调用进程Ｂ
* 的Binder，而进程Ｂ在其Binder.onTransact()中又用transact()向进程Ａ发起调用，那么进程Ａ
* 在等待它发出的调用返回的同时，还会用Binder.onTransact()响应进程Ｂ的transact()。总之
* Binder造成的结果就是让我们感觉到跨进程的调用与进程内的调用没什么区别。
*
* <p>When working with remote objects, you often want to find out when they
* are no longer valid. There are three ways this can be determined:
* 当操作远程对象时，你经常需要查看它们是否有效，有三种方法可以使用：
* <ul>
* <li> The {@link #transact transact()} method will throw a
* {@link RemoteException} exception if you try to call it on an IBinder
* whose process no longer exists.
* transact()方法将在IBinder所在的进程不存在时抛出RemoteException异常。
* <li> The {@link #pingBinder()} method can be called, and will return false
* if the remote process no longer exists.
* 如果目标进程不存在，那么调用pingBinder()时返回false。
* <li> The {@link #linkToDeath linkToDeath()} method can be used to register
* a {@link DeathRecipient} with the IBinder, which will be called when its
* containing process goes away.
* linkToDeath()方法可以用于向IBinder注册一个DeathRecipient，当持有它的进程结束，这个
* 方法会被调用。
* </ul>
