NAME
     kstat_named_init, kstat_named_setstr -  initialize  a  named
     kstat

SYNOPSIS
     #include 
     #include 



     void kstat_named_init(kstat_named_t *knp, const 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.

Kernel Functions for Drivers                 kstat_named_init(9F)



     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. The string  argument  must  remain  valid
     even after the function that is calling kstat_named_setstr()
     is returned. 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.

SEE ALSO
     kstat_create(9F),       kstat_install(9F),        kstat(9S),
     kstat_named(9S)
