streamtab(9S)						    Data Structures for Drivers 					     streamtab(9S)

NAME
streamtab - STREAMS entity declaration structure SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h> INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI). DESCRIPTION
Each STREAMS driver or module must have a streamtab structure. streamtab is made up of qinit structures for both the read and write queue portions of each module or driver. Multiplexing drivers require both upper and lower qinit structures. The qinit structure contains the entry points through which the module or driver routines are called. Normally, the read QUEUE contains the open and close routines. Both the read and write queue can contain put and service procedures. STRUCTURE MEMBERS
struct qinit *st_rdinit; /* read QUEUE */ struct qinit *st_wrinit; /* write QUEUE */ struct qinit *st_muxrinit; /* lower read QUEUE*/ struct qinit *st_muxwinit; /* lower write QUEUE*/ SEE ALSO

strmod_del(2)							System Calls Manual						     strmod_del(2)

NAME
strmod_del - Deletes STREAMS modules and drivers SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h> int strmod_del ( dev_t devno, struct streamtab *streamtab, struct streamadm *streamadm); PARAMETERS
The device number (cdevsw slot) to use when removing a STREAMS driver. This parameter is ignored for modules. A pointer to the streamtab structure that contains the entry points. The actual streamtab structure has to be allocated permanently in the driver's data space (as specified by System V Release 3.2). A pointer to the streamadm structure that contains the administration parameters for the STREAMS mod- ule or driver. The actual streamadm structure is needed only for the duration of the call. It does not have to be allocated permanently by the caller. The sa_version field must be either OSF_STREAMS_10 or OSF_STREAMS_11, and the sa_flags field must be either STR_IS_DEVICE or STR_IS_MODULE. DESCRIPTION
The strmod_del() interface is used to remove configured STREAMS modules and drivers from the kernel. Specifically, it allows STREAMS driv- ers to remove entry points in character device switch tables. Modules are removed from the STREAMS modules switch. When removing a driver only, strmod_del() takes a device number, which is used to determine the device switch slot for the entry points. The streamtab parameter is a pointer to a traditional (System V Release 3.2) streamtab structure. The structure contains pointers to entry points for the module's read and write queue routines. The streamadm parameter points to a streamadm structure. The streamadm structure provides additional information that is required under Tru64 UNIX. NOTES
The device number can be constructed from the major number through the makedev macro, which is defined in /usr/include/sys/types.h. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, strmod_del() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns one of the following values: The sa_version or sa_flags fields in the streamadm structure are not set correctly. The entry is in use and cannot be removed. The entry to be removed is not found. The devno is out of range, or the devsw entry was not in use. RELATED INFORMATION
