STREAMS -- Definition COHERENT implementation of STREAMS Beginning with release 4.2, COHERENT supports STREAMS. This is a system that helps programmers create system-independent device-drivers. STREAMS replaces most of the kernel-accessible routines that are unique to COHERENT. For details on the COHERENT implementation of STREAMS, and for summaries of the STREAMS routines, see the manual that comes with release 2.2 of the COHERENT Device-Driver Kit. To add the STREAMS driver to your kernel (should it not already have it), log in as the superuser root and then enter the following commands: cd /etc/conf streams/mkdev bin/idmkcoh -o /kernel_name where kernel_name names the new kernel to build. Then reboot to invoke the newly built kernel_name. See Also device drivers, getmsg(), Programming COHERENT, putmsg(), stropts.h
