// things working fine when it is an array say char str[10]; But I want the pointer to void here.
I'm sorry you need that feature, but pointers just don't work that way. That pointer is getting sent raw -- just a raw memory address, pointing to memory in your own process that the reciever simply doesn't have. The data you want remains squarely in your own process, untransmitted.
You'll have to either translate the structure instead of sending it raw, or use an array. Perhaps you could use a different method to denote NULL data? A negative size, maybye?

msgb(9S) Data Structures for Drivers msgb(9S)NAME
msgb, mblk - STREAMS message block structure
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h>
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI)
DESCRIPTION
A STREAMS message is made up of one or more message blocks, referenced by a pointer to a msgb structure. The b_next and b_prev pointers
are used to link messages together on a QUEUE. The b_cont pointer links message blocks together when a message consists of more than one
block.
Each msgb structure also includes a pointer to a datab(9S) structure, the data block (which contains pointers to the actual data of the
message), and the type of the message.
STRUCTURE MEMBERS
struct msgb *b_next; /* next message on queue */
struct msgb *b_prev; /* previous message on queue */
struct msgb *b_cont; /* next message block */
unsigned char *b_rptr; /* 1st unread data byte of buffer */
unsigned char *b_wptr; /* 1st unwritten data byte of buffer */
struct datab *b_datap; /* pointer to data block */
unsigned char b_band; /* message priority */
unsigned short b_flag; /* used by stream head */
Valid flags are as follows:
MSGMARK Last byte of message is marked.
MSGDELIM Message is delimited.
The msgb structure is defined as type mblk_t.
