I_FIND

Look for a STREAMS module.

Peek at the top message on a STREAM.

I_SRDOPT

Set the read mode.

I_GRDOPT

Get the read mode.

I_NREAD

Size the top message.

I_FDINSERT

Send implementation-defined information about another STREAM.

I_STR

Send a STREAMS ioctl().

I_SWROPT

Set the write mode.

I_GWROPT

Get the write mode.

I_SENDFD

Pass a file descriptor through a STREAMS pipe.

I_RECVFD

Get a file descriptor sent via I_SENDFD.

I_LIST

Get all the module names on a STREAM.

I_ATMARK

Is the top message "marked''?

I_CKBAND

See if any messages exist in a band.

I_GETBAND

Get the band of the top message on a STREAM.

I_CANPUT

Is a band writable?

I_SETCLTIME

Set close time delay.

I_GETCLTIME

Get close time delay.

I_LINK

I_UNLINK

I_PLINK

Persistently connect two STREAMs.

I_PUNLINK

Dismantle a persistent STREAMS link.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_LOOK:

FMNAMESZ

The minimum size in bytes of the buffer referred to by the arg argument.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_FLUSH:

FLUSHR

Flush read queues.

FLUSHW

Flush write queues.

FLUSHRW

Flush read and write queues.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_SETSIG:

S_RDNORM

A normal (priority band set to 0) message has arrived at the head of a STREAM head read queue.

S_RDBAND

A message with a non-zero priority band has arrived at the head of a STREAM head read queue.

S_INPUT

A message, other than a high-priority message, has arrived at the head of a STREAM head read queue.

S_HIPRI

A high-priority message is present on a STREAM head read queue.

S_OUTPUT

The write queue for normal data (priority band 0) just below the STREAM head is no longer full. This notifies the process that there is room on the queue for sending (or writing) normal data downstream.

S_WRNORM

Equivalent to S_OUTPUT.

S_WRBAND

The write queue for a non-zero priority band just below the STREAM head is no longer full.

S_MSG

A STREAMS signal message that contains the SIGPOLL signal reaches the front of the STREAM head read queue.

S_ERROR

Notification of an error condition reaches the STREAM head.

S_HANGUP

Notification of a hangup reaches the STREAM head.

S_BANDURG

When used in conjunction with S_RDBAND, SIGURG is generated instead of SIGPOLL when a priority message reaches the front of the STREAM head read queue.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_PEEK:

RS_HIPRI

Only look for high-priority messages.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_SRDOPT:

RNORM

Byte-STREAM mode, the default.

RMSGD

Message-discard mode.

RMSGN

Message-non-discard mode.

RPROTNORM

Fail read() with [EBADMSG] if a message containing a control part is at the front of the STREAM head read queue.

RPROTDAT

Deliver the control part of a message as data when a process issues a read().

RPROTDIS

Discard the control part of a message, delivering any data part, when a process issues a read().

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_SWOPT:

SNDZERO

Send a zero-length message downstream when a write() of 0 bytes occurs.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_ATMARK:

ANYMARK

Check if the message is marked.

LASTMARK

Check if the message is the last one marked on the queue.

At least the following macros shall be defined for use with I_UNLINK:

MUXID_ALL

Unlink all STREAMs linked to the STREAM associated with fildes.

The following macros shall be defined for getmsg(), getpmsg(), putmsg(), and putpmsg():

MSG_ANY

Receive any message.

MSG_BAND

Receive message from specified band.

MSG_HIPRI

Send/receive high-priority message.

MORECTL

More control information is left in message.

MOREDATA

More data is left in message.

The <stropts.h> header may make visible all of the symbols from <unistd.h>.

The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

int    isastream(int);
int    getmsg(int, struct strbuf *restrict, struct strbuf *restrict,
           int *restrict);

CHANGE HISTORY

First released in Issue 4, Version 2.

Issue 5

The flags members of the strpeek and strfdinsert structures are changed from type long to t_uscalar_t.

Issue 6

This header is marked as part of the XSI STREAMS Option Group.

The restrict keyword is added to the prototypes for getmsg() and getpmsg().
