30  *	mach_port_t - a named port right
31  *
32  *	In user-space, "rights" are represented by the name of the
33  *	right in the Mach port namespace.  Even so, this type is
34  *	presented as a unique one to more clearly denote the presence
35  *	of a right coming along with the name.
36  *
37  *	Often, various rights for a port held in a single name space
38  *	will coalesce and are, therefore, be identified by a single name
39  *	[this is the case for send and receive rights].  But not
40  *	always [send-once rights currently get a unique name for
41  *	each right].
42  *
43  *	This definition of mach_port_t is only for user-space.
