Hurd 音标拼音: [h'ɚd] The {GNU} project's replacement for the
{Unix} {kernel}. The Hurd is a collection of {servers} that
run on the {Mach} {microkernel} to implement {file systems},
{network protocols}, file access control, and other features
that are implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels
such as {Linux}. The GNU {C Library} provides the {Unix}
{system call} interface, and calls the Hurd for services it
can't provide itself.
The Hurd aims to establish a framework for shared development
and maintenance, allowing a broad range of users to share
projects without knowing much about the internal workings of
the system - projects that might never have been attempted
without freely available source, a well-designed interface,
and a multi-server-based design.
Currently there are free ports of the {Mach} {kernel} to the
{Intel 80386} {IBM PC}, the {DEC} {PMAX} {workstation}, the
{Luna} {88k}, with more in progress, including the {Amiga} and
{DEC} {Alpha}-3000 machines.
According to Thomas Bushnell, BSG, the primary architect of
the Hurd: 'Hurd' stands for 'Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons'
and 'Hird' stands for 'Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth'.
Possibly the first software to be named by a pair of {mutually
recursive} acronyms.
