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().
