Note: Due to the characteristics of STREAMS driver, the returned count of
bytes buffered only reflect the data buffered on MOXA board, not
including the data buffered in STREAMS queue. In this case, the count
is for reference only. For example, returned count may always be zero,
but there still are data buffered in STREAMS queue.
2. MOBUFED
This function let you know the byte count queued in output buffer when this
function is issued.
