The term userland (or user space) refers to all code that runs outside the operating system's kernel. Userland usually refers to the various programs and libraries that the operating system uses to interact with the kernel: software that performs input/output, manipulates file system objects, application software etc. | | A '''userland''' is the system utilities that are not a part of the main kernel, but provide a base system.
