STREAMS/UX for the HP 9000 Reference Manual

Differences Between STREAMS/UX and System V Release 4 STREAMS

HP-UX Changes to STREAMS/UX Commands

STREAMS/UX supports the commands listed below:

• autopush

• fdetach

• strace

• strchg

• strclean

• strconf

• strerr

• strvf

HP versions of supported STREAMS/UX commands operate somewhat

differently from the way the commands are described in the UNIX SVR4.2

Command Reference manual. NLS catalogs exist for the commands. The

catalogs are called autopush.cat, fdetach.cat, strace.cat, strchg.cat,

strclean.cat, strconf.cat, strerr.cat, and strvf.cat and are located in the

/usr/lib/nls/C directory. Differences in the commands are described below.

autopush

The syntax for the autopush command on HP-UX is as follows:

autopush -f autopush_file_name

autopush -r -M major_num|dev_name -m minor_num

autopush -g -M major_num|dev_name -m minor_num

autopush_file_name contents:

major_num|dev_name low_minor high_minor mod_name 1...mod_name N

The HP-UX autopush command has been enhanced to allow the user to

specify the device name in place of the major number, which is

recommended since HP-UX provides dynamic major numbers. The name

can be speciﬁed in the autopush ﬁle and on the command line. Device names

are located in the HP-UX master ﬁles. The major number can still be used if

needed.
