     For details on this  interface  refer  to  the  <sys/dlpi.h>
     header and to the STREAMS DLPI Specification, 800-6915-01.

The sys/dlpi.h file has all the typedefs and defines, very nice,
but I would like to find the mentioned reference as well. Any
idea what that number means?

The spec used to be available from Unix International.  I don't
know who controls it now (maybe SCO?).  Alternate sources of
information on the DLPI are
        - The "STREAMS Modules and Drivers" manual published by
          USL/Univel in 1992 (the spec is reproduced in Chapter 11).
        - My book, Unix System V Network Programming (Addison-Wesley,
          1993.  ISBN # 0-201-56318-5).

Steve Rago

  ftp://opcom.sun.ca/pub/drivers/dltest.tar.gz

which has some handy examples and a ps file with very nice
descriptions as well.

Although I have not seen Steve Rago's Unix System V network
programming book in the stores, it's also on my list of
'must get' lit.

1. Streams Modules And Drivers, UNIX SVR4.2, UNIX Press, 1992.
   (out of the UNIX SVR4.2 documentation set by USL; it contains
   all you want to know about DLPI - the Solaris 2.x is only
   a slightly modified version with upward compatibility).
   There is also a PostScript-Version of that text contained
   on the Solaris Driver Developer Kit.

2. How To Use DLPI, Neal Nuckolls, Sun White Paper, 1992.
   use archie, one reference is:
