That question doesn't really make any sense. Cocoa objects are
insantiated by allocating a block of memory to hold them ([<class>
alloc]) and then calling the designated initializer of that class
(often [<object> init]).

The implementation of various classes will use various mechanisms to
deal with the lower-levels of the OS, including syscalls, IPC, maybe
IOUserClients... But those are implementation details you don't need
to concern yourself with.

What are you trying to do?
