Services are an abstraction of ports and are the commonly used way of inter-process communication outside of the kernel. While handles of regular ports are retrieved from [[SVC]](svcConnectToPort), service handles are retrieved through the port ''srv:'' ("service manager").

When a service is registered, [[SVC|svcCreatePort]] is used without a port-name. This means that the port is inaccessible via the port SVCs outside of sm-module. See below for getting a session handle for sending commands to services.

Processes with PID less than or equal to the number of NATIVE_FIRM built-in modules (fs, sm, pm, pxi, ldr) have access to all services. This value is obtained from [[SVC|svcGetSystemInfo]].

Attempting to use srvGetServiceSession with a service that the process has access to when that service isn't registered, results in svcSendSyncRequest never returning(the exact cause is unknown).

The Register command registers a process with the service-manager, which includes registering the serviceaccesscontrol for the process which normally originates from the [[NCCH/Extended_Header|exheader]].


Prior to to [[7.0.0-13]], the commands listed for "srv:" were also accessible under this port with the same command-headers. Starting with [[7.0.0-13]], the "srv:pm" port was changed to a service. With this change, commandIDs for these commands were changed. "srv:pm" was originally vulnerable, this was fixed with [[7.0.0-13]], see [[3DS_exploits|here]]. Originally any process could use "srv:pm", however starting with [[7.0.0-13]] only the built-in NATIVE_FIRM sysmodules have access to it. The only system title which uses "srv:pm" is the [[Process_Manager_Services|Process Manager]].
