Can somebody please explain to me how it is possible to use
Unix V.3 streams with respect to putting the streams modules off onto
an intelligent board ?
From an academic point of view, and having browsed the streams
programers guide et al., there seems to be a problem with
accessing modules. In a normal kernel, the user writes a driver
conforming to the rules in the manual. The kernel presumably
knows which modules are present by virtue of the config file, and
the struct minfo information.
If I have a set of modules which run in the kernel, and now
wish to off-load the host, by placing the code on the
board, the kernel no longer knows which modules are available
for I_LINKing and I_PUSHing etc. What is the correct way to
do this ?
thanks
