`interface <interface name> <instance name>`

> Associates this service with a list of the HIDL services that it provides. The interface name

  must be a fully-qualified name and not a value name. For instance, this is used to allow

  hwservicemanager to lazily start services. When multiple interfaces are served, this tag should

  be used multiple times.
