An '''operating system abstraction layer''' ('''OSAL''') provides an [[application programming interface]] (API) to an [[Abstraction (computer science)|abstract]] [[operating system]] making it easier and quicker to develop code for multiple [[software]] or [[computer hardware|hardware]] platforms.
