I need to send syslog messages over local 'stream' interface, not on UDP
or TCP. Using Solaris 8, I have success:

Successful unix test
If I replace the ('unix','/dev/console') with ('stream'), system
complains:
root@labser12# ./test
Invalid argument passed to setlogsock; must be 'unix' or
'inet' at ./test line 40
This code gives error message, but still works in Solaris 10:

If I try ('stream'), it simply doesn't send the message. What is wrong?
