对于Windows，有Win32 API，对于Mac呢? [英] For Windows there is Win32 API, what about for Mac?

问题描述

对于Windows，有Win32 API，对于Mac呢?在Wikipedia上

For Windows there is Win32 API, what about for Mac? On Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_(API)

据说Cocoa是API的其中之一..."那么整个故事又如何呢?

it is said that Cocoa is "one of" the API... what about the full story?

推荐答案

在什么级别?低级API主要是但并非完全是FreeBSD，并且在其之下还存在一个Mach API(我相信有些东西仍将Mach端口用于IPC；我相信，至少已启动支持它们).在较高级别上有两个API:可可和碳.可可是本机API； Carbon适用于从较旧的MacOS移植的程序. (其中包括OSX本身的一部分；很长一段时间Finder都是Carbon应用程序.)

At what level? The low level API is largely but not entirely FreeBSD, and below that there is still a Mach API (some things still use Mach ports for IPC, I believe; at least, launchd supports them). At the upper level are two APIs: Cocoa and Carbon. Cocoa is the native API; Carbon is intended for programs ported from older MacOS. (Which includes parts of OSX itself; for a long time Finder was a Carbon app.)

实际上，Windows的情况并没有什么不同.长期以来，在32位Windows中一直存在Win16仿真API，而在Windows NT的早期，它同时具有POSIX和16位OS/2 API.

The Windows situation isn't all that different, actually; there was for a long time a Win16 emulation API present in 32-bit Windows, and in the early days of Windows NT it had both POSIX and 16-bit OS/2 APIs.
