==Kernel==
 
The kernel is the core of an operating system. In a traditional design, it is responsible for memory management, I/O, interrupt handling, and various other things. And even while some modern designs like [[Microkernel]]s or [[ExokernelsExokernel]]s move several of these services into user space, this matters little in the scope of this document.
 
The kernel makes its services available through a set of system calls; how they are called and what they do exactly differs from kernel to kernel.
