NAME
kstat_named - structure for named kstats
SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/kstat.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION

Named kstats are an array of name-value pairs. These pairs are kept in the kstat_named structure. When a kstat is created by kstat_create(9F), the driver specifies how many of these structures will be allocated. The structures are returned as an array pointed to by the ks_data field.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
union {
 char c[16];
 long l;
 ulong_t ul;
 longlong_t ll;
 u_longlong_t ull;
} value; /* value of counter */

The only member exposed to drivers is the value member. This field is a union of several data types. The driver must specify which type it will use in the call to kstat_named_init().
