kstat_named_init(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers kstat_named_init(9F)
NAME
kstat_named_init, kstat_named_setstr - initialize a named kstat
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/kstat.h>
void kstat_named_init(kstat_named_t *knp, char *name, uchar_t data_type);
void kstat_named_setstr(kstat_named_t *knp, const char *str);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
knp Pointer to a kstat_named(9S) structure.
name The name of the statistic.
data_type The type of value. This indicates which field of the kstat_named(9S) structure should be used. Valid values are:
KSTAT_DATA_CHAR
The "char" field.
KSTAT_DATA_LONG
The "long" field.
KSTAT_DATA_ULONG
The "unsigned long" field.
KSTAT_DATA_LONGLONG
Obsolete. Use KSTAT_DATA_INT64.
KSTAT_DATA_ULONGLONG
Obsolete. Use KSTAT_DATA_UINT64.
KSTAT_DATA_STRING
Arbitrary length "long string" field.
str Pointer to a NULL-terminated string.
DESCRIPTION
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. This is
the only supported method of changing the value of long strings.
RETURN VALUES
None.
CONTEXT
kstat_named_init() and kstat_named_setstr() can be called from user or kernel context.
