Nintendo provides application developers with an API, which behind the scenes communicate with certain services. Services in this sense are system processes running in the background which wait for incoming requests. When a process wants to communicate with a service, it first needs to get a handle to the named service, and then it can communicate with the service via interprocess communication. Each service has a name up to 8 characters, for example "nim:u".

Nintendo provides application developers with an API, which communicate with certain services. Services, in this sense, are [[Title_list#00040130_-_System_Modules|system processes running in the background]] which wait for incoming requests. When a process wants to communicate with a service, it first needs to get a handle to the named service, and then it can communicate with the service via interprocess communication. Each service has a name up to 8 characters, for example "nim:u".

List of services:
+
Handles for services are retrieved from the [[Services|service manager port]], "srv:". Services are an abstraction of ports, they operate the same way except regular ports can have their handles retrieved directly from a SVC.

* [[Process Services‎]]

For a description of how commands and arguments are passed to services, see [[IPC Command Structure]].
* [[Application Manager Services]]
