However, it appears a pipe _is_ a STREAM in Solaris, so I'd expect getmsg(2)/putmsg(2) should work; not the same, but perhaps similar enough, although some of the features are obscure or at least lacking in examples, unless you're wealthy enough to afford the appropriate book(s) by Stevens (or Teer?). For instance, darn if any trivial googling finds me an _example_ of code using I_SENDFD/I_RECVFD (or the comparable sockets feature).
As long as you're in control and not using pipes supplied by something like the shell or popen(3c), you might consider using AF_UNIX sockets if you want socket rather than STREAMS semantics for something strictly local.
