.SH NAME

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBkstat_lookup()\fR function traverses the kstat chain,
\fIkc\fR->\fBkc_chain\fR, searching for a kstat with the same \fIks_module\fR,
\fIks_instance\fR, and \fIks_name\fR fields; this triplet uniquely identifies a
kstat. If \fIks_module\fR is \fINULL\fR, \fIks_instance\fR is -1, or
\fIks_name\fR is \fINULL\fR, those fields will be ignored in the search. For
example, \fBkstat_lookup(kc, NULL, -1, "foo")\fR will find the first kstat
with name "foo".
.sp
.LP
The \fBkstat_data_lookup()\fR function searches the kstat's data section for
the record with the specified \fIname\fR. This operation is valid only for
those kstat types that have named data records: \fBKSTAT_TYPE_NAMED\fR and
\fBKSTAT_TYPE_TIMER\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBkstat_lookup()\fR function returns a pointer to the requested kstat if
it is found. Otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR and sets \fBerrno\fR to indicate
the error.
.sp
.LP
The \fBkstat_data_lookup()\fR function returns a pointer to the requested data
record if it is found. Otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR and sets \fBerrno\fR to
indicate the error .
