.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBkstat\fR mechanism allows for an optional \fBks_snapshot()\fR function
to copy \fBkstat\fR data. This is the routine that is called to marshall the
\fBkstat\fR data to be copied to user-land. A driver can opt to use a custom
snapshot routine rather than the default snapshot routine; to take advantage of
this feature, set the \fBks_snapshot\fR field before calling
\fBkstat_install\fR(9F).
.sp
.LP
The \fBks_snapshot()\fR function must have the following structure:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
static int
xx_kstat_snapshot(kstat_t *ksp, void *buf, int rw)
{
     if (rw == KSTAT_WRITE) {
/* set the native stats to the values in buf */
/* return EACCES if you don't support this */
     } else {
/* copy the kstat-specific data into buf */
     }
     return (0);
}
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
In general, the \fBks_snapshot()\fR routine might need to refer to
provider-private data; for example, it might need a pointer to the provider's
raw statistics. The \fBks_private\fR field is available for this purpose. Its
use is entirely at the provider's discretion.
.sp
.LP
No \fBkstat\fR locking should be done inside the \fBks_update()\fR routine. The
caller will already be holding the \fBkstat\fR's \fBks_lock\fR (to ensure
consistent data) and will prevent the \fBkstat\fR from being removed.
.RS +4
.TP
1.
\fBks_snaptime\fR must be set (via \fBgethrtime\fR(9F)) to timestamp the
data.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
2.
Data gets copied from the \fBkstat\fR to the buffer on \fBKSTAT_READ\fR, and
from the buffer to the \fBkstat\fR on \fBKSTAT_WRITE\fR.
