GNU Mach is the microkernel of the GNU Project. It is the base of the operating system, and provides its functionality to the Hurd servers, the GNU C Library and all user applications. The microkernel itself does not provide much functionality of the system, just enough to make it possible for the Hurd servers and the C library to implement the missing features you would expect from a POSIX compatible operating system.
