I am trying my best to understand the context of your question. I am
feeling
that it may be related to the fact that people claim OS X has a Mach
microkernel
at it's core. This is not 100% correct.
XNU, the Darwin kernel, is really a hybrid BSD and Mach kernel.
Generally
speaking it handles all of the normal kernel functions of a BSD
operating system
while using Mach to handle some parts like memory management and some
IPC calls [interprocess communication].
Is this the sort of information you are looking for?
