SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
queue_t *OTHERQ(queue_t *q);

INTERFACE LEVEL

Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS

Pointer to the queue.

DESCRIPTION

The OTHERQ() function returns a pointer to the other of the two queue structures that make up a STREAMS module or driver. If q points to the read queue the write queue will be returned, and vice versa.

RETURN VALUES

The OTHERQ() function returns a pointer to a queue's partner.

CONTEXT

The OTHERQ() function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Setting Queues

This routine sets the minimum packet size, the maximum packet size, the high water mark, and the low water mark for the read and write queues of a given module or driver. It is passed either one of the queues. This could be used if a module or driver wished to update its queue parameters dynamically.
