The manual pages for the STREAMS interface cover both the SVR5 and SCO OpenServer 5 interfaces and are in the following sections:
Intro(D7str) lists all the STREAMS message types that are supported for SVR5 and identifies those that are not also supported on SCO OpenServer 5 Release 5. Individual pages in that section provide detailed compatibility notes for that message.

General information about using Dynamically Loadable Kernel Modules (DLKM) is in ``Dynamically-loadable kernel modules (DLKM)''.
Developing a STREAMS driver or module entails:
If you are porting an SCO OpenServer 5 or SVR5 1 or 2 STREAMS driver to SVR5, see ``STREAMS in DDI 8''.
