Description

This sample dumps out the Mach port name space of a process. It is designed to be used as a tool by developers who are writing inter-process communication code on Mac OS X. Typically this code is based on Mach ports, or some higher-level wrapper around Mach ports. You can run this sample to check to see whether your code leaks ports.
