Porting STREAMS Protocols to WindNet STREAMS WindNet STREAMS for Tornado

Table 6 introduces the UNIX-compatible routines supported by WindNet STREAMS.

WindNet STREAMS Routine	UNIX Routine	Description




**strmTimeout( )**	timeout	Schedules the execution of a routine after a specified length of time.
**strmUntimeout( )**	untimeout	Cancels a previously-scheduled timeout.
**strmSleep( )**	sleep	Suspends thread execution pending the occurrence of a specified event.
**strmWakeup( )**	wakeup	Resume thread execution.

strmTimeout( )

provides the same functionality, invocation parameters, and return value as the UNIX routine timeout.

strmUntimeout( )

provides the same functionality, invocation parameters, and return value as the UNIX routine untimeout.

strmSleep( )

provides the same functionality and return value, but takes only the event parameter, unlike its UNIX counterpart sleep.

strmWakeup( )

provides the same functionality, invocation parameters, and return value as the UNIX routine wakeup.

For more information, see the manual entries for strmTimeout( ), strmUntimeout( ), strmSleep( ), and strmWakeup( ).
