       The <stropts.h> header shall define at least the following symbolic constants for use with
       I_FLUSH:

       FLUSHR      Flush read queues.

       FLUSHRW     Flush read and write queues.

       FLUSHW      Flush write queues.

       The <stropts.h> header shall define at least the following symbolic constants for use with
       I_SETSIG:

       S_BANDURG   When used in conjunction with S_RDBAND, SIGURG is generated instead of SIGPOLL
                   when a priority message reaches the front of the STREAM head read queue.

       S_ERROR     Notification of an error condition reaches the STREAM head.

       S_HANGUP    Notification of a hangup reaches the STREAM head.

       S_HIPRI     A high-priority message is present on a STREAM head read queue.

                   the STREAM head read queue.

       S_OUTPUT    The write queue for normal data (priority band 0) just below the  STREAM  head
                   is  no  longer full. This notifies the process that there is room on the queue
                   for sending (or writing) normal data downstream.

       S_RDBAND    A message with a non-zero priority band has arrived at the head  of  a  STREAM
                   head read queue.

       S_RDNORM    A  normal (priority band set to 0) message has arrived at the head of a STREAM
                   head read queue.

       S_WRBAND    The write queue for a non-zero priority band just below the STREAM head is  no
                   longer full.

       S_WRNORM    Equivalent to S_OUTPUT.

       The  <stropts.h> header shall define at least the following symbolic constant for use with

       RS_HIPRI    Only look for high-priority messages.

       The <stropts.h> header shall define at least the following symbolic constants for use with
       I_SRDOPT:

       RMSGD       Message-discard mode.

       RMSGN       Message-non-discard mode.

       RNORM       Byte-STREAM mode, the default.

       RPROTDAT    Deliver the control part of a message as data when a process issues a read().

       RPROTDIS    Discard  the  control  part  of  a  message,  delivering any data part, when a
                   process issues a read().

       RPROTNORM   Fail read() with [EBADMSG] if a message containing a control part  is  at  the
                   front of the STREAM head read queue.

       The  <stropts.h> header shall define at least the following symbolic constant for use with
       I_SWOPT:

       getpmsg(), putmsg(), and putpmsg():

       MORECTL     More control information is left in message.

       MOREDATA    More data is left in message.

       MSG_ANY     Receive any message.

       MSG_BAND    Receive message from specified band.

       MSG_HIPRI   Send/receive high-priority message.

       prototypes shall be provided.

           int    fattach(int, const char *);
