### Dependency management
MirageOS leverages OCaml's unique module system, a programming language evaluated at compile time, to adapt the unikernel to the compilation target.
In MirageOS, each operating system service, such as the console, the
network stack, the random number generator, is a module on its own.
There are multiple implementations for each service.
An example is that on UNIX the sockets API of the host is used as networking stack. On a
unikernel, the TCP/IP stack natively implemented in OCaml is used.
MirageOS leverages OCaml's module system to adapt the unikernel to the compilation target.
Each operating system service in MirageOS is a module, for example the console, the
network stack, the random number generator.
Each of the services has multiple implementations that are chosen based on the target.
On UNIX, the sockets API of the host is used as networking stack. On a
unikernel, the TCP/IP stack natively implemented in OCaml is being used.
A MirageOS developer does not need to reason about compilation targets, just about the
module interface.
