Streams

STREAMS ( Optional )
* The streams method  in UNIX gives a bi-directional pipeline between a user process and a device driver, onto which additional modules can be added.
* The user process conveys with the stream head.
* The device driver interconnects with the device end.
* Zero or additional stream modules can be pushed onto the stream, using ioctl( ). These modules may filter and/or edit the data as it passes through the stream.
* Every module has a read queue and a write queue.
* Flow control can be permissively supported, in which case each module will buffer data until the adjacent module is ready to receive it. Without flow control, data is moved along as soon as it is ready.
* User processes communicate with the stream head using neither read( ) and write() ( or putmsg( ) and getmsg( ) for message passing. )
* Streams I/O is asynchronous ( non-blocking ), other than for the interface between the user process and the stream head.
* The device driver must reply to interrupts from its device - If the adjacent module is not prepared to accept data and the device driver's buffers are all full, then data is typically dropped.
* Streams are mostly used in UNIX, and are the preferred approach for device drivers. For example, UNIX executes sockets using streams.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

Understanding Electromagnetic Waves: The Invisible Messengers of Energy Electromagnetic (EM) waves are everywhere around us, shaping the way we live and communicate, though most of the time we are unaware of their presence. From the light we see to the signals carrying our favorite songs on the radio, EM waves play a fundamental role in both nature and modern technology. In this post, we’ll explore the nature of electromagnetic waves, their types, and their significance in daily life. What Are Electromagnetic Waves? At their core, electromagnetic waves are fluctuations of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space. Unlike sound waves, which need a medium like air or water to propagate, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. This means they can traverse the vast emptiness of space, which is how sunlight reaches Earth from the Sun. The discovery of electromagnetic waves is credited to James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. He formulated a set of equations—now kn...
