STREAMS Programming Guide Oracle Solaris 11.1 Information Library |
Part I Application Programming Interface
Communicating With a STREAMS Device
How STREAMS Works--Application Interface
How STREAMS Works at the Kernel Level
Structure of a STREAMS Device Driver
Configuring Multiplexed Streams
2. STREAMS Application-Level Components
3. STREAMS Application-Level Mechanisms
4. Application Access to the STREAMS Driver and Module Interfaces
7. STREAMS Framework - Kernel Level
8. STREAMS Kernel-Level Mechanisms
11. Configuring STREAMS Drivers and Modules
14. Debugging STREAMS-based Applications
B. Kernel Utility Interface Summary
This chapter provides a foundation for later chapters. Background and simple definitions are followed by an overview of the STREAMS mechanisms. Because the application developer is concerned with a different subset of STREAMS interfaces than the kernel-level developer, application and kernel levels are described separately.
