NAME
     linkblk - STREAMS data structure sent to multiplexor drivers
     to indicate a link

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI)

DESCRIPTION
     The  linkblk structure is used to connect a lower Stream  to
     an  upper   STREAMS  multiplexor  driver.  This structure is
     used in conjunction with the I_LINK, I_UNLINK,  P_LINK,  and
     P_UNLINK ioctl commands. See  streamio(7I). The  M_DATA por-
     tion of the  M_IOCTL message contains  the   linkblk  struc-
     ture.  Note that the linkblk structure is allocated and ini-
     tialized by the Stream head as a result of  one of the above
     ioctl commands.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
       queue_t   *l_qtop;   /* lowest level write queue of upper stream */
                            /* (set to NULL for persistent links) */
       queue_t   *l_qbot;   /* highest level write queue of lower stream */
       int       l_index;   /* index for lower stream. */
