// entirely fixed length, and some of the fields can be empty, so it's almost impossible
// to parse correctly.
//
// The alternative is to directly read the values in /proc/[pid], pretty much like ps
// does (see https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/toolbox/ps.c).
//
// The easiest way to do the directory listings would be to use the SyncService; unfortunately,
// the sync service doesn't work very well with /proc/ so we're back to using ls and taking it
// from there.

// List all processes by doing ls /proc/.
// All subfolders which are completely numeric are PIDs
// Android 7 and above ships with toybox (https://github.com/landley/toybox), which includes
// an updated ls which behaves slightly different.
// The -1 parameter is important to make sure each item gets its own line (it's an assumption we
// make when parsing output); on Android 7 and above we may see things like:
// 1 135 160 171 ioports timer_stats
// 10 13533 16056 172 irq tty
// 100 136 16066 173 kallsyms uid_cputime
// but unfortunately older versions do not handle the -1 parameter well. So we need to branch based
// on the API level. We do the branching on the device (inside a shell script) to avoid roundtrips.
// This if/then/else syntax was tested on Android 2.x, 4.x and 7
