- * Definition of a port
+ * Definition of a Mach port
+ *
+ * Mach ports are the endpoints to Mach-implemented communications
+ * channels (usually uni-directional message queues, but other types
+ * also exist).
+ *
+ * Unique collections of these endpoints are maintained for each
+ * Mach task. Each Mach port in the task's collection is given a
+ * [task-local] name to identify it - and the the various "rights"
+ * held by the task for that specific endpoint.
+ *
+ * This header defines the types used to identify these Mach ports
+ * and the various rights associated with them. For more info see:
+ *
+ * <mach/mach_port.h> - manipulation of port rights in a given space
+ * <mach/message.h> - message queue [and port right passing] mechanism
*
- * [The basic port_t type should probably be machine-dependent,
- * as it must be represented by a 32-bit integer.]

- * A port_name_t is a 32 bit value which represents a name of a
- * port right within some ipc space. This is a constant definition
- * everywhere.
+ * mach_port_name_t - the local identity for a Mach port
*
- * The type port_t represents a reference added or deleted to a
- * port right.
+ * The name is Mach port namespace specific. It is used to
+ * identify the rights held for that port by the task whose
+ * namespace is implied [or specifically provided].
*
- * At user space, this is represented by returning the name of
- * the right(s) that got altered within the user's ipc space.
- * So a port_t is the same type as a port_name_t there.
+ * Use of this type usually implies just a name - no rights.
+ * See mach_port_t for a type that implies a "named right."
*
- * Since there is no right space for the kernel proper (all rights
- * are naked rights) these rights are represented by passing a
- * pointer to the specific ipc_object_t subclass (typically
- * ipc_port_t) that got altered/is to be altered.
- *
- * JMM - Because of this pointer/integer overloading, port names
- * should be defined as uintptr_t types. But that would make
- * message headers and descriptors pointer-length dependent.
