The components pictured in Figure 1 are specific to WindNet STREAMS. This section presents the two application interfaces supported by WindNet STREAMS: XTI/TLI and sockets. There is also a discussion of the DLPI (Data Link Provider Interface) driver, as well as the autopush utility. The debugging utilities, strace and strerr, are discussed in §5. WindNet STREAMS Debugging.
