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. They are returned as an array pointed to by the ks_data field.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

union {
	char
	long
	ulong_t
	longlong_t
	u_longlong_t
} 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().
