Hello,
while writing a pseudo device driver, eventually the question came up on
myself whether it would be meaningful or necessary to make it a streams
driver or just simply a character-based one.
The driver (yet unwritten) does approximately the same as the qotd sample
driver from the Device
Ok, sorry for my english, you are misunderstand me.
My question is very simple:
Whether is at Solaris what or a free-of-charge opportunity to receive updating?

The driver (yet unwritten) does approximately the same as the qotd sample
driver from the Device Driver Tutorial book - giving data stored in
kernel memory to userspace and nothing more.
If it's a simple driver not related to terminal/serial subsystem, you
most likely want a character

Right, but
I answered your initial question. This one:
what is the advantage of STREAMS (besides the modularity and
stackability)? The BSDs and Linux seem to be happy enough
has more to do with the history of unix, System V vs BSD, etc. My
