.SH NAME
streamtab \- STREAMS entity declaration structure
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/stream.h> 
.fi

.SH INTERFACE LEVEL
.sp
.LP
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Each STREAMS driver or module must have a \fBstreamtab\fR structure.
.sp
.LP
\fBstreamtab\fR is made up of \fBqinit\fR structures for both the read and write queue portions of each module or driver. Multiplexing drivers require both upper and lower \fBqinit\fR structures. The \fBqinit\fR structure contains the entry points through which the module or driver routines are called.
.sp
.LP
Normally, the read \fBQUEUE\fR contains the \fBopen\fR and \fBclose\fR routines. Both the read and write queue can contain \fBput\fR and service procedures.
