*libports* is a convenience library for easier handling of [[Mach
ports|microkernel/mach/port]].  It is documented in the [[Reference_Manual]].

*libports* is not (at least, not for now) a generalization / abstraction of
Mach ports to the functionality the Hurd needs, that is, it is not meant to
provide an interface independently of the underlying [[microkernel]].
