I was wondering of the semi-object oriented approaches followed by some 
operating system like Linux. 
In linux each kernel layer defines a set of API to hide some low level details. 
So when a process issue a open
posix call on a block device, linux kernel intercept it and invokes the open 
system call associated with the
device by kernel module programmer.

My question is:
due the the microkernel nature of GnuMach Operating System, does the kernel 
exports any kind of interface
like struct file_operations in Linux?
is there any common inerface between translators?
