illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI) knp name data_type str kstat_named_init() associates a name and a type with a kstat_named(9S) structure.

kstat_named_setstr() associates str with the named kstat knp. It is an error for knp to be of type other than KSTAT_DATA_STRING. The string argument must remain valid even after the function that is calling kstat_named_setstr() is returned. If KSTAT_DATA_STRING is used in a persistent kstat the string argument must remain valid even after the module that created the kstat is unloaded. This is the only supported method of changing the value of long strings.

None. kstat_named_init() and kstat_named_setstr() can be called from user or kernel context. kstat_create(9F), kstat_install(9F), kstat(9S), kstat_named(9S)
