: I thought this could be done in user-land, and didnt have to have kernel
: space support. (I seem to remember a shared lib implementation of this).
No. STREAMS much more powerful than current interface is.
You can emulate BSD socket interface (and ttys, and....) on the top of
STREAMS (f.e. Solaris-2.*), but the reversed task is impossible.
Only poor emulation, that is useless.
