Porting Unix software to Darwin and Mac OS X

This document contains hints for porting Unix applications to Darwin and Mac OS X. Much of the information here applies to both Mac OS X version 10.x.x and "pure" Darwin systems. Both systems will be referred to as Darwin, since Mac OS X is actually a superset of Darwin.
