Is there any concept of module in darwin kernel similar to linux? Also
can i configure the darwin kernel and then build the same? If i can
configure the kernel how do i do it?
To add to Quinn's reply, the Darwin kernel is pretty much complete as
it comes from the factory. There are no source-level modules that you
can enable/disable during the kernel config/build cycle. The only
reason to build your own is to fix a bug or make a change for your own
purposes.
Note that there may be #defines in the source to enable or disable some
piece of code, but those situations are completely untested, and may
not even build; if they do build, they may not run; and if they run,
they may chew up your disk and spit the remains out in your lap. :-}.
Regards,
Justin
