NAME
     bcanput - test for flow control in specified priority band

SYNOPSIS
     #include 



     int bcanput(queue_t *q, unsigned char pri);


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).

PARAMETERS
     q      Pointer to the message queue.


     pri    Message priority.


DESCRIPTION
     The bcanput() function searches through the stream (starting
     at  q)  until  it finds a queue containing a service routine
     where the message can be enqueued, or until it  reaches  the
     end  of  the stream. If found, the queue containing the ser-
     vice routine is tested to see if there is room for a message
     of priority pri in the queue.


     If pri  is  0,  bcanput()  is  equivalent  to  a  call  with
     canput(9F).


     canputnext(q) and bcanputnext(q,pri) should always  be  used
     in       preference       to      canput(q->q_next)      and
     bcanput(q->q_next,pri) respectively.

RETURN VALUES
     1    If a message of priority  pri  can  be  placed  on  the
          queue.


     0    If the priority band is full.


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

WARNINGS
     Drivers are responsible for both testing a queue with  bcan-
     put()  and refraining from placing a message on the queue if
     bcanput() fails.
