This document serves a dual purpose. First and foremost, it is the official FAQ of OpenDarwin. However, it is also a repository for general information related to Darwin (including Apple Darwin and the Darwin layer of Mac OS X). If an answer mentions "Darwin" without specifying which one, you can assume it is applicable to both OpenDarwin and Apple Darwin. The differences between the two are elaborated upon within the FAQ itself.

Much of this FAQ is based on the Unofficial Darwin FAQ, originally put together by bbraun. The original DocBookification was done by wbb4, and picked up and finished off a year later by snu. If you have any comments, corrections or contributions, or would like to translate the FAQ into another language, please contact the OpenDarwin Documentation Project at <[email protected]>.
