*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]].
*libports* does not itself depend on *[[libthreads]]*, but the appropriate
threading hooks are used if present, that is if *[[libthreads]]* is used by
another component.
