These terms belong to the Mac OS X architecture topic and I'm confused about the following:
mach is said to be a microkernel
Darwin and XNU are mentioned to be a kernel
So ...can you help me to understand the separation of those terms and how they collaborate to power the Mac OS X environment please?
From Wikipedia: "Microkernel is the term describing an approach to Operating System design by which the functionality of the system is moved out of the traditional "kernel", into a set of "servers" that communicate through a "minimal" kernel, leaving as little as possible in "system space" and as much as possible in "user space"." What part of that are you having trouble with?
