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_cre-
       ate(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().
