NAME
     kstat_named - structure for named kstats

SYNOPSIS

INTERFACE LEVEL

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().
