(Redirected from Filesystem:/sbin/launchd)

launchd is the background process used to manage daemons running on the device. It is commanded using launchctl. The source code used to be available, but with OS X 10.10/iOS 8.0 has been moved into the closed source libxpc, and has undergone significant changes (e.g. single process rather than per-user launchd, and improved XPC functionality).
