.SH NAME
linkblk \- STREAMS data structure sent to multiplexor drivers to indicate a
link
.SH SYNOPSIS

Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI)
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The  \fBlinkblk\fR structure is used to connect a lower Stream to an upper
STREAMS multiplexor driver.  This structure is used in conjunction with the
\fBI_LINK\fR, \fBI_UNLINK\fR,  \fBP_LINK\fR, and \fBP_UNLINK\fR ioctl commands.
See  \fBstreamio\fR(7I). The  \fBM_DATA\fR portion of the  \fBM_IOCTL\fR
message contains the  \fBlinkblk\fR structure.  Note that the \fBlinkblk\fR
structure is allocated and initialized by the Stream head as a result of  one
of the above ioctl commands.
