ABSTRACT:
An extension to the STREAMS framework, referred to as dynamic function replacement, uses data structures that contain function pointers which allow STREAMS to execute various module or driver functions without requiring framework modification, or understanding what these functions actually do beyond their rudimentary classifications. This provides a simple, yet elegant, mechanism for replacing these function definitions and, hence, changing the execution behavior of STREAMS modules and drivers without requiring the modules or drivers to be rewritten or modified.
