Examples

To display information about STREAMS drivers and modules in use, enter:
strinfo -m
This produces a listing similar to the following:
```

Device: 'slog', dcookie 0x10, flags:0x4, str 0x19a6c18

In this example dcookie indicates the major number, flags indicates the flags configuration, and str is the STREAMS table address.

strinfo -q
This produces a listing similar to the following:
