- Runs as a system service
- Lines of raw text are sent to the plumber
- Plumber tests a table of regular expressions against the text
- Whichever one matches gets to assign a command to it
- Plumber runs the command
Plumber can be thought of as a primitive, non-returning version of the Android Intents system.
