Hi managers,

It's there. At least in Solaris 2.4 and 2.5, it is defined in
/usr/include/sys/filio.h

Original Question:-

> What is the replacement for FIONREAD under Solaris 2.x when I want to read how many characters are available on a serial port or socket?
>
> Under bsd(Solaris 1.x) I have used :-
>
> ioctl(fd, FIONREAD, &bytes);
>
> Where fd is the file descriptor(int) and bytes(int) is the number of characters ready to be read.
