       sys_attrs_streams - streams subsystem attributes

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This reference page lists and describes attributes for the
       STREAMS  (streams)  kernel   subsystem.   Refer   to   the
       sys_attrs(5)  reference  page  for  an introduction to the
       topic of kernel subsystem attributes.

              Maximum number  of  STREAMS  modules  that  can  be
              pushed  on  a  stream. This prevents an errant user
              process from consuming all the available queues  on
              a single stream.

              Default value: 9 (modules)

              Minimum value: 1

              Maximum value: 16

              Maximum  size,  in  bytes, of the data portion of a
              STREAMS message.  This prevents a single  write  or
              putmsg from consuming too many message blocks.

              Default value: 12288 (bytes, or 12 KB)

              Minimum value: 12288

              Maximum value: 16384
