You might want to start at the place where it was developed, CMU. There's quite a lot of reference material there, and pointers to other material and books. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/ On Fri, Feb 14, 2003 at 02:12:13PM -0800, Brent Marykuca wrote:

Hi,

I'm interested in learning the nitty-gritty of how the mach kernel

works, both the theory of it, and the practical side of how to program

using mach interfaces. I've found some of the mach kernel interface

documentation in the Darwin repository, so that's a start, but I'm

looking for more details. (I'll eventually get around to reading the

source in detail, but I'm looking for some higher-bandwidth materials

first.)

Can you point me toward useful reference material for answers to such

questions as:

a) Where are the headers for mach kernel apis?

b) How does a user process communicate with the kernel?

c) What is MIG? Where do I find it and how do I use it?

Thanks,

Brent Marykuca
