STREAMS/UX for the HP 9000 Reference Manual

Differences Between STREAMS/UX and System V Release 4 STREAMS

This chapter summarizes the differences between STREAMS/UX and

System V Release 4.2 STREAMS. Chapter 4 discusses STREAMS/UX

multiprocessor support and the differences between STREAMS/UX and

System V Release 4 Multiprocessor STREAMS. You need to use this

manual in conjunction with USL's UNIX System V Release 4.2 STREAMS

Modules and Drivers and UNIX System V Release 4.2 Device Driver

Reference. The USL manuals will be referred to as the SVR4.2 STREAMS

manual and the SVR4.2 Driver manual from now on. Unless otherwise

stated in this chapter and Chapter 4, STREAMS/UX information described

in the SVR4.2 STREAMS and SVR4.2 Driver manuals will be applicable to

STREAMS/UX.

NOTE: This chapter is intended primarily for programmers, and is written with the

assumption that you have already read the SVR4.2 STREAMS Modules and

Drivers manuals.
