.TH KSTAT_LOOKUP 3KSTAT "March 24, 2020"
.SH NAME
kstat_lookup, kstat_data_lookup \- find a kstat by name
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR\&.\|.\|. ] \fIfile\fR\&.\|.\|. \fB-lkstat\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR\&.\|.\|.]
#include <kstat.h>
\fBkstat_t *\fR\fBkstat_lookup\fR(\fBkstat_ctl_t *\fR\fIkc\fR, \fBchar *\fR\fIks_module\fR, \fBint\fR \fIks_instance\fR,
\fBchar *\fR\fIks_name\fR);
.fi
.LP
.nf
\fBvoid *\fR\fBkstat_data_lookup\fR(\fBkstat_t *\fR\fIksp\fR, \fBchar *\fR\fIname\fR);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
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.
.SS Lifetime
The \fBkstat_t\fR structures and any associated data are owned by the library
and the corresponding handle, \fIkc\fR. That is, two callers with same library
handle will generally have the same memory returned to them, though this is not
a guaranteed part of the interface. Callers should not modify or attempt to free
the data associated with either. Calling the \fBkstat_chain_update\fR(3KSTAT) or
\fBkstat_close\fR(3KSTAT) functions on the handle \fIkc\fR will cause the
pointers returned from these functions with the same handle to be invalid.
.SH RETURN VALUES
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 .
.SH ERRORS
The \fBkstat_lookup()\fR and \fBkstat_data_lookup()\fR functions will fail if:

\fBKSTAT_TYPE_NAMED\fR or \fBKSTAT_TYPE_TIMER\fR.
