NAME

       qinit - STREAMS queue processing procedures structure

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/stream.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI)

DESCRIPTION

       The   qinit  structure  contains  pointers to processing procedures for a  QUEUE. The streamtab structure for the module or driver contains
       pointers to one queue(9S) structure for both upstream and downstream processing.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

       int		   (*qi_putp)();      /* put procedure */
       int		   (*qi_srvp)();      /* service procedure */
       int		   (*qi_qopen)();     /* open procedure */
       int		   (*qi_qclose)();    /* close procedure */
       int		   (*qi_qadmin)();    /* unused */
       struct module_info  *qi_minfo;	      /* module parameters */
       struct module_stat  *qi_mstat;	      /* module statistics */

NAME

       queue - STREAMS queue structure

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/stream.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI)

DESCRIPTION

       A   STREAMS  driver  or	module	consists  of  two   queue structures, one for upstream processing (read) and one for downstream processing
       (write). This structure is the major building block of a stream. It contains pointers to the processing procedures, pointers  to  the  next
       and  previous  queues in the stream, flow control parameters, and a pointer defining the position of its messages on the  STREAMS scheduler
       list.

       The  queue structure is defined as type	queue_t.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

       struct	   qinit*q_qinfo;      /* module or driver entry points */
       struct	   msgb*q_first;       /* first message in queue */
       struct	   msgb*q_last;        /* last message in queue */
       struct	   queue*q_next;       /* next queue in stream */
       struct	   queue*q_link;       /* to next queue for scheduling*/
       void	   *q_ptr;	       /* pointer to private data structure */
       size_t	   q_count;	       /* approximate size of message queue */
       uint_t	   q_flag;	       /* status of queue */
       ssize_t	   q_minpsz;	       /* smallest packet accepted by QUEUE*/
       ssize_t	   q_maxpsz;	       /*largest packet accepted by QUEUE */
       size_t	   q_hiwat;	       /* high water mark */
       size_t	   q_lowat;	       /* low water mark */

       Valid flags are as follows:

       QENAB	       Queue is already enabled to run.

       QWANTR	       Someone wants to read queue.

       QWANTW	       Someone wants to write to queue.

       QFULL	       Queue is considered full.

       QREADR	       This is the reader (first) queue.

       QUSE	       This queue is in use (allocation).

       QNOENB	       Do not enable queue by way of putq().
