5. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
stream

   1.  An abstraction referring to any flow of
   data from a source (or sender, producer) to a single sink (or
   receiver, consumer).  A stream usually flows through a channel
   of some kind, as opposed to packets which may be addressed
   and routed independently, possibly to multiple recipients.
   Streams usually require some mechanism for establishing a
   channel or a "connection" between the sender and receiver.

   2.  In the C language's buffered input/ouput
   library functions, a stream is associated with a file or
   device which has been opened using fopen.  Characters may be
   read from (written to) a stream without knowing their actual
   source (destination) and buffering is provided transparently
   by the library routines.

   3.  Confusingly, Sun have called their
   modular device driver mechanism "STREAMS".

   4.  In IBM's AIX operating system, a
   stream is a full-duplex processing and data transfer path
