# init(name:context:)

Transfer ownership of an existing, unmanaged, but already guarded, Mach port right into a Mach.Port by name.

## Declaration

```swift
init(name: mach_port_name_t, context: mach_port_context_t)
```

## Discussion

Discussion This initializer aborts if name is MACH_PORT_NULL. If the type of the right does not match the type T of Mach.Port being constructed, the behavior is undefined. The underlying port right will be automatically deallocated when the Mach.Port object is destroyed.
