Services cannot be connected to through svcConnectToPort, as the underlying port is a private port. The service name is instead entirely handled by service manager, and the kernel is not aware of it. Clients are instead expected to open a session to a service using the "srv:" port command [[SRV:GetServiceHandle|GetServiceHandle]]. The client process must pass an access permission check for each service (by name) that it attempts to request a session with. These permissions are granted in the "service access control" of the title's [[NCCH/Extended Header#ARM11 Local System Capabilities|extended header]]. A service is registered with service manager using the command [[SRV:RegisterService|RegisterService]]. | ||
