/* NAME
/*	stream_trigger 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	wakeup stream server
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <trigger.h>
/*
/*	int	stream_trigger(service, buf, len, timeout)
/*	const char *service;
/*	const char *buf;
/*	ssize_t	len;
/*	int	timeout;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	stream_trigger() wakes up the named stream server by making
/*	a brief connection to it and writing the named buffer.
/*
/*	The connection is closed by a background thread. Some kernels
/*	cannot handle client-side disconnect before the server has
/*	received the message.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP service
/*	Name of the communication endpoint.
/* .IP buf
/*	Address of data to be written.
/* .IP len
/*	Amount of data to be written.
/* .IP timeout
/*	Deadline in seconds. Specify a value <= 0 to disable
/*	the time limit.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	The result is zero in case of success, -1 in case of problems.
/* SEE ALSO
/*	stream_connect(3), stream client
