       stropts.h, stropts - STREAMS interface (STREAMS)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stropts.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  <stropts.h>	 header defines the bandinfo structure, which includes
       the following members:

       unsigned char bi_pri	/* priority band */
       int	     bi_flag	/* flushing type */

       The <stropts.h> header defines the strpeek structure that includes  the
       following members:

       struct strbuf ctlbuf	/* control portion of the message */
       struct strbuf databuf	/* data portion of the message */
       t_uscalar_t   flags	/* RS_HIPRI or 0 */

       The  <stropts.h>	 header defines the strbuf structure that includes the
       following members:

       int  maxlen     /* maximum buffer length */
       int  len	       /* length of data */
       char *buf       /* pointer to buffer */

       The <stropts.h> header defines the strfdinsert structure that  includes
       the following members:

       struct strbuf ctlbuf	/* control portion of the message */

       int	     fildes	/* file descriptor of the other STREAM */
       int	     offset	/* relative location of the stored value */

       The <stropts.h> header defines the strioctl structure that includes the
       following members:

       The  uid_t  and gid_t types are defined through typedef as described in
       <sys/types.h>. See types.h(3HEAD).

       The <stropts.h> header defines the t_scalar_t  and  t_uscalar_t	types,
       respectively, as signed and unsigned opaque types of equal length of at

       The  <stropts.h>	 header	 defines the str_mlist structure that includes
       the following member:

       char l_name[FMNAMESZ+1]	       a STREAMS module name

       The following macro is defined for use with I_LOOK:

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

       The following macros are defined for use with I_FLUSH:

       FLUSHR	       flush read queues

       FLUSHW	       flush write queues

       FLUSHRW	       flush read and write queues

       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.

		       nal 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 gen‐
		       erated instead of  SIGPOLL  when	 a  priority   message
		       reaches the front of the STREAM head read queue.

       The following macro is defined for use with I_PEEK:

       RS_HIPRI	       Only look for high-priority messages.

       The following macros are 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()

       The following macro is defined for use with I_SWOPT:

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

       The following macros are 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.

       The following macro is defined for use with I_UNLINK:

       MUXID_ALL       Unlink all STREAMs linked to the STREAM associated with
		       fildes.

       The following macros are 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	 can  make  visible  all  of  the symbols from
       <unistd.h>.
