Userland

Anywhere outside the kernel. “That code belongs in userland.” This term has been in common use among Unix kernel hackers since at least 1985, and may have have originated in that community. The earliest sighting was reported from the usenet group net.unix-wizards.

Userland may refer to:

• Userland (computing), operating system software that does not belong in the kernel
• UserLand Software, a U.S. software company specializing in web applications
• Radio UserLand, a computer program to aid maintaining blogs or podcasts
