- Subject: Does AIX has connld STREAMS module, and fattach() ?

- I'm porting my database software from svr4 to other environments,
- including AIX. One module I use for communications is connld which
- lets me handle multiple unique streams, along with fattach().
-
- Is there a `connld' or equivalent in IBM AIX 3.2 ? I've been browsing
- through the info-hypertext-thingy and can't find it. The sysadmin
- people here don't know what they configure in the kernel. Typical.
- References I found on STREAMS are for those things I'll never need
- (like auto conversion from ASCII to EBCDIC.)
-
- Also, I just did a `man -k fattach()' on the other window, and
- it didn't find it either. Running /usr/sbin/scls returns an
- error about not finding the nuls driver/module. I checked the
- /etc/pse.conf file, but it contains nothing even similar to
- `connld.' I saw a reference to a spx multiplexer, but I assume
- that's probably for pseudo-tty stuff. Neither man nor info gave
- me anything more regarding spx. I wrote a small test program, but
- ioctl() can't I_PUSH connld (returns -1.)
-
- I'm pretty foreign to AIX, so I don't know where to look next.
- I'm wondering if 1) Connld or equivalent just doesn't exist in
- the wild world of AIX; 2) It exists in some form, but is not
- configured by the sysadmin here; 3) It exists and configured,
- but I just don't know about it.
-
- Any help is GREATLY appreciated,
-
- -Ade.
