7<h3>Mach IPC Interface</h3>
8<blockquote>
9<p>
10Mach IPC presents itself in a few forms: message queues, lock-sets,
11and semaphores (more may be added in the future). &nbsp;All share one common
12charateristic: the capabilities presented by each are represented through
13a handle known as a Mach port. &nbsp;Specific rights represented in these
14Mach port capability handles allow the underlying IPC object to be used and
15manipulated in consistent ways.</p>

342<h4>Processor Set Interface</h4>
343<blockquote>
344<i>
345The processor set interface allows for the grouping of tasks and
346processors for the purpose of exclusive scheduling. These interface
347are <b>deprecated</b> and should not be used in code that isn't tied
348to a particular release of Mac OS X/Darwin. These will likely change
349or disappear in a future release.
