-MIG is a program which generates remote procedure call (RPC) code for communication between client and server processes in a Mach based operating system.
+[[MachInterfaceGenerator]] (MIG) is a program which generates inter-process communication (IPC) code. Specifically Mig generates remote procedure call (RPC) code for communication between client and server processes running on a Mach microkernel.
