DESCRIPTION

       This tunable determines the type of pipe that is created by the system call.  If set to the default value of zero, all pipes created by are
       normal HP-UX file-system pipes.	If the value is non-zero, creates STREAMS-based pipes, and STREAMS modules can be pushed onto the  result-
       ing stream.

       If this tunable is set to a non-zero value, the and module and driver must be configured in file

   What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On?
       STREAMS-based pipes performance may differ from normal file system pipes.

   When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off?
       If the customer does not need the STREAMS-based pipes, this tunable should be turned off.
