description of ports

[Marcus Brinkmann]

Hi,

I send a description about Mach ports here some time ago, with references to
the gnumach source.  While the references may be considered useful on their
own, the explanation of ports I added was probably not so well.  I wrote
this because I found the explanation in kernel_principles.ps very confusing.

I now found out that there is an excellent explanation of the user
reference, port name and port rights system in the documentation of the
mach_msg() system trap in mach_interfaces.ps.  It has all the glory details
in a very concised and clear language.

Thanks,
Marcus
