The configuration of STREAMS drivers and modules is statically defined at system creation time. The STREAMS subsystem, core drivers and modules are part of every 10.0 system.

The following sections contain a list of the core drivers and modules, STREAMS kernel tunable parameters, and STREAMS configuration data structure (streams_devs[ ]) information. See the master(4) manpage for more details.

STREAMS Drivers

The core STREAMS drivers are:

  • clone—provides the device cloning used by STREAMS.

  • strlog—provides the STREAMS logging facility.

  • sad—provides the STREAMS module autopush capability.

  • echo—loopback test driver used by the verification program, strvf. Refer to the strvf(1M) manpage.

  • pipedev—required for STREAMS-based pipes.

STREAMS Modules

The core STREAMS modules are:

  • sc—used by autopush and provides part of the STREAMS module autopush capability. Refer to the autopush(1M) manpage.

  • timod—provides an interface from TLI/XTI to the transport provider.

  • tirdwr—another TLI module; provides a read/write interface to the transport provider.

  • pipemod—handles M_FLUSH messages for STREAMS-based pipes.
