One of the things in which Linux diverges from Unix is Linux' non-implementation of STREAMS.
STREAMS can roughly be described as a way to organize drivers dealing with I/O. Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STREAMS Linux Journal article: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3086 None of them has details about the reasons, which led Linux Kernel developers to reject STREAMS. STREAMS was only vaguely described as poorly-designed and resource-consuming. Where can I find, if it exists at all, the definitive article which spells out the reasons for rejection of STREAMS? --- Omer -- Soylent Green is people!
