NAME
kstat_named - structure for named kstats
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/kstat.h>
#include <sys/ddi.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().
